Health advice has been issued for anyone impacted by strikes this week.
Nurses are set to stage a walk out on Wednesday and Thursday this week as a row over pay continues and "patient care is suffering like never before". The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said nurses will strike on January 18 and 19 which follows on from December strikes where thousands of nurses took to the picket line.
During the strike action, the health service will most likely run a bank holiday-style service in many areas.
For the strikes this week, the RCN has agreed to still staff chemotherapy, emergency cancer services, dialysis, critical care units, neonatal and paediatric intensive care.
