10 June 2026

The British Medical Association recently announced that resident doctors intend to take industrial action, as part of a dispute with Government on working terms and conditions. The industrial action is set to take place from 7am on Monday 15 June to 7am on Friday 19 June 2025. The industrial action may have an impact on the capacity of practices. West and North London Integrated Care Board has produced a toolkit to support practices with communicating to patients about how to access NHS services during the strike. The toolkit (World document) includes:
