The British Medical Association (BMA) has announced strike action for resident doctors in June.
There will be a full, four-day walk-out by BMA resident doctors from 7:00am on Monday 15 June 2026 until 7.00am on Friday 19 June 2026.
Patients across England are being urged not to put off coming forward for the care they need during this week’s resident doctor strikes.
Patients should attend planned appointments unless they have been contacted to reschedule.
The NHS is asking patients to choose services wisely during the industrial action and take simple steps to help ensure care is available to patients who need it most.
GP practices, NHS 111 and urgent and emergency care services will continue to be available during the strike period.
Anyone who needs urgent but not life-threatening care should use 111 online in the first instance, where they will be directed to the most appropriate service for their needs.
Patients with life-threatening emergencies should continue to call 999 or attend A&E as normal.
Trusts are also working to protect priority treatments, including urgent surgery and cancer care, wherever possible during the strike period.
