Resident Doctors have called off their strike action which was planned for 15 - 19 June 2026.

If your appointment was due to be impacted by the industrial action and we had been in touch to rearrange it, we will contact you again this week to confirm when it will take place.

If we had not contacted you to rearrange your appointment, please attend as planned.

Who can I speak to if I have further questions?

Please speak to your clinical team or contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS)if you have any further questions:

Email: pals@gosh.nhs.uk

Finally, we want to thank our patients, families and carers for their understanding at this difficult time.
