Royal College of Nursing (RCN) industrial action: 18-19 January

Members of the RCN are taking industrial action on 18 and 19 January. While we will continue to run as many services as possible, our hospitals will be running on reduced staffing levels agreed with the RCN.

Some appointments due to take place on these dates are being rearranged - please look out for calls from our hospitals. If you do not hear from us, please attend as planned.

Information for ward visitors

On these days, visiting is permitted between 10am-8pm.

We regret that there may be delays in responding to phone calls or the door as we prioritise safe patient care.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
