Over 2,500 Nottingham hospital appointments postponed during junior doctor strikes

More than 2,500 appointments and operations in Nottingham were postponed as a result of junior doctor strikes earlier this month. Members of the British Medical Association (BMA) took industrial action over pay between March 13 and 15.

Staff at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) and Sherwood Forest Hospitals (SFH) took part in the 72-hour national strike. The number of junior doctors on strike at NUH, which runs Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital, peaked at 848 - equating to 96%.

Junior doctors account for around 50% of the NHS trust's entire workforce. The widespread action led to a total of 2,574 appointments and procedures being postponed over the three-day period.
