Junior Doctors Strike
On 26th and 27th
April 2016 it is expected that Junior Doctors will be taking strike
action. This will put pressure on our local hospitals as they take steps
to maintain emergency cover. We will be working with our 17 general
practices to see if they can offer additional support, perhaps through
additional “on the day” appointments over these two days. We also have
two Urgent Care Centres, one in Widnes on Moor Lane and one in Runcorn on the
Halton Hospital site, that offer access to minor injury, minor illness, GP
consultation and expert children’s medicine from 7.30am to 10pm seven days a
week. For minor complaints you can also try your community pharmacists.
