Information relating to hospital and community services on 18th and 19th January due to industrial action
National industrial action by the Royal College of Nursing will involve Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th January.
Careful planning for the action has been undertaken and patients who have either a hospital or community health service appointment or procedure booked on either of the two days should attend as planned unless contacted by the Trust.
We are continuing to provide essential community nursing services and any patients whose normal arrangements need to change have been notified.
Emergency and maternity care is not impacted by the action however, the Minor Injures Unit at the Hallamshire Hospital which is nurse led will need to be closed on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th January. If you require advice or treatment for a minor injury during this closure, please call 111, speak to your GP, or local pharmacy or visit https://sheffieldurgentcare.co.uk/. Please do not visit A&E unless it is a genuine emergency.
Visiting times at all our hospitals are not affected and relatives and carers are welcome to attend as normal on both days.
