I've just seen that Junior Doctor Strikes have been announced in late December and early January. From looking at statements relating to previous strikes, I can see that hospitals try to prioritise A&E, maternity and neonatal services. Does anyone have any experience of using these services during a strike and what it means for c-sections?

There was strikes December last year when I had my planned c-section and nothing was affected
Thanks Natalie, that's a relief to hear

As far as I know you are unlikely to interact with junior doctors on maternity wards as usually you’re dealing with midwives and if something is wrong they call the consultant

Most likely to slow discharge paperwork. Registrars often are the second doctor in C sections, but I do think this will aim to be covered. I imagine they will reduce antenatal clinics those weeks, to ensure more ward/theatre cover
