Nick Guldemond: Junior doctors, have been walking out of both emergency and planned care during their strikes.

In a post on LinkedIn, Nick Guldemond, Professor of Integrated Care & Technology, CEO & founder of Medical Field Lab, recently shared:

“Junior doctors, who make up nearly half the medical workforce, have been walking out of both emergency and planned care during their strikes. During the strike, patients are advised to contact NHS 111 or the nearest pharmacy for more minor health concerns, although A&E departments remain open if needed.
‘We could be close to a tipping point,” he said, adding: “Trusts and staff are pulling out all the stops but, with no end to strikes in sight, the sheer volume of planned treatment being put back due to industrial action will make it almost impossible for trusts to cut waiting lists as much as the government wants.’
We can’t take any more, says NHS as doctors strike”
