Healthy Hikes
Resident doctor strike: 14–19 November
From Friday 14 to Wednesday 19 November, resident doctors (formerly known as junior doctors) will be taking strike action.
This will have a significant impact on services across our hospitals, particularly as our teams are currently adjusting to a new way of working following the introduction of our electronic patient record.
Getting the right care
Please help us make sure emergency care is available for those who need it most:
- Only attend A&E in life-threatening emergencies.
- For non-urgent issues, please contact your GP, your local pharmacy, or NHS 111 (online or by phone). More information is on our get the right care for you page.
Appointments and planned care
- If your appointment is affected, we will contact you directly.
- If you do not hear from us, please attend your appointment as planned.
Get walking
Our Healthy Hikes are available at both King George Hospital and Queen's Hospital to encourage you to take a break from work and get some fresh air.
Using the perimeter of our hospitals as the route, we have signs showing distance and the time your walk is expected to take, as well as the number of calories you can burn!
Figures are indicative based on UK average height, weight and length of stride.
