Industrial action and local NHS pressures: February 2024

布里斯托尔、北萨默塞特和南格洛斯特郡的国民医疗服务体系 (NHS) 正在努力确保人们在计划罢工期间的安全，同时提供尽可能最好的医疗服务。.

Junior doctors will be striking from 7am on Saturday 24 February to 11:59pm on Wednesday 28 February 2024.

如果您已预约，请按时前来接受所需治疗。请勿致电询问预约是否照常进行。如需更改预约，我们将直接与您联系。.

罢工期间，任何人都不应耽误寻求紧急或急诊护理，患有严重危及生命的疾病的人将继续在我们的急诊科就诊。.

However, please keep 999 and A&E clear for genuine life-threatening emergencies, and use NHS 111 在线服务 如有其他紧急医疗需求，或不确定是否需要去医院，请致电 111。如果您拨打 111，请尽可能提供详细信息，以便我们为您提供正确的支持和建议。.

On days when there is strike action, people should only call 999 if it is a medical or mental health emergency. Ambulances will still respond in these situations but this may only be where there is an immediate risk to life.

罢工期间，一些不太紧急的求助电话可能无法得到回应。请勿再次致电询问救护车预计到达时间。我们无法提供此类信息，而且这样做会占用线路，影响其他来电者的通话。.

地方卫生和护理服务面临压力

英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）持续面临高需求，而罢工意味着这些服务将承受更大的压力，因此人们合理利用现有服务至关重要。.

由于医院床位不足，一些救护车滞留在医院。然而，许多已经在医院的病人已经准备好回家或转往其他医疗机构。.

To help with this, friends and relatives of individuals who are medically fit for discharge are asked to help with the practical arrangements that will enable their loved one to be discharged from hospital. Please also work with community teams to help loved ones at home with meals and domestic support, as this will free-up staff to help others in greater need to have support at home.

Due to these pressures, it is possible that non-urgent, routine appointments and procedures may be cancelled and postponed, to prioritise treatment for those most acutely unwell in community settings, GP practices and hospitals. You will be notified directly if you are affected by the changes.

If your conditions are not life-threatening, you may have to wait longer than usual for an ambulance and, where safe and appropriate, may be asked to make your own way to hospital – although it is important you get medical advice from 111 or 999 before doing so.

由于这些巨大的压力，使用 满足您需求的合适服务.
