Health services in Dorset are facing disruptions starting April 7 due to industrial action by resident doctors, lasting until April 13. The NHS is focused on maintaining essential services, particularly urgent and emergency care, while other staff members, including consultants, carry on with their duties. Residents are advised to use NHS services wisely, such as utilizing NHS 111 for non-urgent medical advice. Patients with scheduled appointments should attend as planned unless contacted otherwise. The NHS emphasizes that 999 should only be called for true medical or mental health emergencies to preserve emergency care availability.
