The Resident doctors Industrial action began today.

It’s important to still seek medical help if you, or someone you care about, needs it during the strike action.

Please continue to use 999 and A&E in an emergency. You can also use NHS 111 online and community services, like GPs and pharmacies, which will be open as usual for help and advice.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Dementia Awareness Week: Spotlight on Delirium

Today, we’re sharing a powerful video from one of our doctors, shedding light on delirium—a sudden change in mental state that can often be mistaken for or occur alongside dementia.

Delirium can develop quickly and may be triggered by illness, infection, or medication. It’s vital to recognise the signs early—such as confusion, disorientation, or sudden changes in behaviour—especially in older adults or those living with dementia.

By understanding delirium, we can better support our loved ones and ensure they receive the right care at the right time.
