The #JuniorDoctorsStrikes started today which means our three hospitals will be busier than usual as NHS services across England will be affected.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Luci Etheridge shares some advice on what to do if you or someone you know becomes ill during the strikes.

Jamie was born at only 24 weeks weighing just 1lb! He spent the first few months of his life in the neonatal unit @StGeorgesTrust and supported by @FirstTouchNNU before being transferred to @RBandH for heart surgery. Just look at him now as he turns 12 today!! ❤️💙 #HeartMonth RT
