Resident doctors strike

Posted on:

Resident doctors (formerly referred to as junior doctors) will take part in strike action over concerns about delays to contracts, working hours and the reforms to pay.

The strike will take place from 7am Friday 25 July until 7am on Wednesday 30 July 2025.

All NHS organisations are working together to maintain safe care and prioritise urgent and critical care services:

• GP and dental services remain open

• Emergency and maternity services remain open and fully operational.

• Not all clinics or consultant-led services are cancelled – patients will be contacted if affected.

• Attend appointments unless told otherwise.

• Use NHS 111 online for non-emergency needs; only call 999 in life-threatening situations.

• Mental health services remain open and available – help is still here for you.
