Shropshire hospital bosses in the midst of one of the toughest strikes in NHS history, with routine care to virtually come to a "standstill" for 48 hours.Consultant doctors and hospital-based dentists are taking strike action today until 8am on Saturday, with consultants only helping to cover emergency care.
Speaking to Shropshire Star earlier this week, Dr Nick White, chief medical officer at NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, said: “This could be the most severe impact we have seen in the NHS as a result of industrial action, with routine care virtually at a standstill for 48 hours. Dr White added: “We are working closely with our trusts to ensure that emergency and urgent care is prioritised, and patients remain safe, but it’s becoming more challenging to get services back on track after each round of action.”
