Junior doctors will be taking industrial action from 06:59 on Tuesday 11 April until 06:59 on Saturday 15 April following the announcement by the BMA and HCSA.

We have taken the difficult decision to temporarily suspend the use of Entonox (gas and air) for pregnant women and birthing people at St Peter’s Hospital and are very sorry if you are affected by this.

Maternity services at St Peter’s Hospital have been awarded a good rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in its latest report published today (Friday 26 September 2025) - https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/RTK01/inspection-summary#Maternity

Following a successful ballot, Junior doctors who are part of the British Medical Association (BMA) and the Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association (HCSA) are expected to take strike action from Monday 13 March to Thursday 16 March. During this period we have taken steps to ensure that emergency care and cancer care continues, however some elective appointments may need to be cancelled.
If you have an appointment booked, please attend as planned, unless you have been contacted to reschedule your appointment.
