Industrial action by junior doctors

Industrial action by junior doctors starts at 7am on Thursday 27th June 2024 and ends on 7am on Tuesday 2nd July 2024. This will cause major disruption to services.

On days where there is strike action, patients should only call 999 if it is a medical or mental health emergency (when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk).

Where the situation is not life-threatening, alternative support will be available through NHS 111 online or through the NHS 111 helpline, and where possible, it is advised that you arrange alternative transport.

NHS 111 offers a British Sign Language (BSL) service that is open 24/7. Connect to a BSL interpreter here:

People who need mental health support and live in Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside and Glossop please call:

 0800 014 9995
