We are expecting major significant disruption as a result of planned industrial action by Junior Doctors from 6.59am on Wednesday 22 May until 6.59am on Friday 24 May. This disruption is likely not only on strike days, but also on the days before and after the strike.

Regrettably, the Urgent Care Centre at the Lagan Valley Hospital will be closed tomorrow 22 & Thursday 23 May. If you need urgent and emergency care please go to the Ulster Hospital Emergency Department.

 

The Trust’s priority will be to work together to provide safe care for our patients.

Please attend your appointment unless you are contacted by the Trust to advise otherwise.

Postponed services:

  • 581 Outpatient appointments
  • 45 Endoscopy procedures
  • 28 Day case procedures
  • 45 Surgeries

Trust services going ahead:

IN AN EMERGENCY ALWAYS PHONE 999

All postponed appointments and procedures will be rescheduled as soon as possible.

We regret any inconvenience the disruption will cause.

Thank you for your help and understanding.
