The Christie has written to patients to reassure them that despite proposed strike action by junior doctors from 8am, Wednesday 9th March to 8am, Friday 11th March; their appointments will still be taking place unless they have been notified otherwise.
Roger Spencer, Chief Executive of The Christie, said: “While some of our staff may be taking part in the industrial action, we can confirm that all patient appointments will be going ahead unless otherwise notified.
“Our main priority is to ensure continuity of patient care; however we envisage that some patients may experience delays in some clinics. We will do our very best to keep these delays to a minimum, and staff will keep patients informed of any impact this may have on their appointments.”
