Industrial action and local NHS pressures: June 2026

 

15 June 2026 – update: Resident doctors in England have called off their June strike action after the Government presented an offer on pay and jobs.

There is no change to health services as a result of the change in strike plans and you should continue to use services as normal, including using the right services for your needs.
