Hospital corridor.jpgJunior doctors at the Royal Free London are taking part in a 72-hour strike from 7am on Wednesday 20 December until 7am on Saturday 23 December.

The strike action will impact all our hospitals — Barnet Hospital, Chase Farm Hospital and the Royal Free Hospital. Please be assured we are working hard to ensure we minimise disruption to services.

Emergency care and acute services will be prioritised, and patients seeking urgent treatment will be seen. However, where appropriate, please use other non-hospital services for advice and treatment during this period of industrial action, such as:

  • NHS 111: www.111.nhs.uk or call 111
  • GP practices (they will continue to be open during the strike)
  • walk-in centres
  • pharmacies

If you have an outpatient appointment or a procedure with us, you will be contacted directly if this needs to be rescheduled. Please attend as normal if you don’t hear from us.

Our junior doctors are due to take part in a second, six-day period of strike action, from 7am on Wednesday 3 January until 7am on Tuesday 9 January.
