Karl Marlowe, Chief Medical Officer, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We respect the position of our clinical colleagues in exercising their right to strike, and recognise that this is a dispute between the Government (who set public sector pay) and the Unions.

“Our priority will be to maintain patient safety, and we are grateful to our teams who are working hard to ensure patient care is disrupted as little as possible. I speak for the entire Board when I said how much we appreciate your help in these difficult times.”

If you have an appointment with us, and we haven’t contacted you to rearrange it, please come to your appointment as planned.

Should this situation change before the strike action begins, we will update this page and our social media accounts.
