Halcyon Medical

⚠️ Junior Doctor Industrial Action – November 2025

Junior doctors are taking strike action from 7am on Friday 14th November until 7am on Wednesday 19th November 2025.

During this period, Halcyon Medical will remain open as usual, and we will continue to provide care to all our patients. However, the strikes may affect healthcare services across the NHS, and we expect the surgery to be busier than normal.

We kindly ask patients to:
• Be patient with our team during this time
• Use our services appropriately
• Attend appointments as normal unless you are contacted to reschedule

Our clinical and administrative teams will do their very best to accommodate everyone safely.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
