NHS advice to patients as doctors strike

The Herald

April 06, 2026

THE NHS is urging patients not to put off seeking the care they need as resident doctors press ahead with “difficult” strike action, which the Health Secretary has branded “disappointing”.

Tens of thousands of resident doctors in England are to stage a six-day walkout on Tuesday, immediately after the Easter weekend.

NHS England said hospital teams across the country will be working to minimise disruption for patients during the walkout, which is “expected to be particularly challenging” because of a shorter notice period.

The strikes are going ahead after the Government took a key part of its offer off the table.

The Department of Health and Social Care said last week that an offer of 1,000 extra training places would no longer be “financially or operationally” possible.
