The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has advised us that they are taking industrial action from 8pm on Sunday 30 April until mindnight on Monday 1 May 2023. As a result, a number of RCN nurses that work at HRCH will be on strike on these days.
If you have an appointment that is likely to be affected by this action, we will contact you and rearrange your appointment as a priority.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
The Richmond Urgent Treatment Centre at Teddington Memorial Hospital will be running a very reduced service and will only be able to see the most urgent cases. All other patients will be redirected to other appropriate services
Anyone experiencing potentially life-threatening symptoms should call 999 as they would on any other day.
