Strike action to begin at Grimsby hospital tomorrow

Four days of distributive industrial action will begin at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital tomorrow, Tuesday 19 September.

Speaking last week, bosses at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust has they were ‘concerned’ at the “coordinated industrial action” being at staged by healthcare professionals.

This strike will mark the first time that junior doctors and consultant members of the British Medical Association will be coordinating their strike action. It will result in four days of disruption from 19th to 23rd September.

Simon Nearney, Director of Workforce for Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust said: “We’ve never seen doctors take this type of coordinated industrial action in the health service before, so this does give us cause for concern and will understandably concern our patients too.

“On any one of these four days there will be disruption, but on the 20th in particular, consultants and junior doctors plan to take industrial action together, providing only emergency cover equivalent to that provided on Christmas Day.

“Once again, we will be using other skilled health professionals, such as clinical nurse specialists and advanced care practitioners, to deliver some services where safe and appropriate to do so, and their support continues to be invaluable to us.

“Ultimately, however, we could see hundreds of doctors walking out over the next few days and the operational impact of this, along with the personal impact on patients and their families who may have been waiting months to be seen, cannot be underestimated.”
