NHS Junior Doctors are taking industrial action today and tomorrow (26-27 April 2016, 8am-5pm), including withdrawal of cover from A&E departments.

Essential care will be provided by senior staff. The NHS is asking us all to make sure that we help the NHS cope by choosing the right service and attending A&E only if it is essential.

The full advice form the NHS is here. A&E departments will still be open, and it is important the people do still attend A&E with serious and critical problems that are detailed in the advice.
