What you need to know about tomorrow's nurses strike
Hospitals have been emptied out and will be reduced to essential services tomorrow as thousands of nurses and healthcare workers stop work. The industrial action will run from 7am Thursday for 24 hours.
What you need to know:
• Canterbury DHB staff will notify patients if their appointments change.
• If patients need to check on their appointment, they can call the number on their appointment letters. If possible, quote the NHI number which is usually in the upper right-hand corner of the letter. If people can't find their appointment letter, they can call 03 364 0640 and ask to be put through to the appropriate department.
• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Otherwise, people should visit their GP or a local pharmacy.
• Free medical advice is available 24/7 at 0800 611 116.
