For the next few weeks, we have reduced clinical activity over the holiday season.
As always, we have aimed to strike a balance between maintaining appropriate clinical services to accommodate COVID and non-COVID demand, while also ensuring that where possible, our employees can take some well-deserved time off after another busy year.
Some of our clinical services and sites will either temporarily modify, reduce or close their capacity during this time. There will be no impact on ED, emergency, urgent care services, category one surgeries or critical care services, which will continue as usual.
You can find a summary of key dates and changes to sites and services here.
My thanks go to those who will provide critical cover over the holiday period; your contribution is vital and much appreciated. And, to everyone who can use this opportunity to take a break, I hope you enjoy a well-earned rest.
