Strike action during July 2023
Junior Doctors in England are taking strike action from 6:59am on Thursday 13 July to 6:59am on Tuesday 18 July.
The British Medical Association has also announced that consultants have voted in favour of taking strike action, planned for Thursday 20 and Friday 21 July.
The industrial action is a national dispute between the Government and Trades Unions about terms and conditions for doctors working in the NHS.
Junior Doctors and Consultants at Berkshire Healthcare will be participating in the strikes on their scheduled days.
The safety of our patients and staff remains our top priority. We are committed to keeping disruption to services to a minimum on these dates and we have measures in place to ensure the safety and welfare of our patients and our staff.
Further strike action is scheduled for August 2023
