Junior doctors at all major hospitals in the mid and south Essex area are scheduled to strike from 7am on Thursday 27 June until 7am on Tuesday 2 July.
The NHS expects that urgent and emergency services will be under pressure and waiting times for care may be considerably longer than usual.
The NHS in mid and south Essex will be working hard to keep people safe during the planned strikes, while delivering the best care possible. They are also asking you to play your part during the industrial action to look after yourself, your loved ones, and to check in on vulnerable family members and neighbours.
