Industrial action affecting testing services in south east London – cancelled
Members of the Unite union who work at Synnovis were planning to strike on 16-20 December (inclusive). Following negotiations between Synnovis and the union, this strike action has been called off.
Synnovis provides pathology testing services – eg. blood and urine tests – to GP practices, hospitals and other NHS services across south east London.
While the cancellation of the strike is welcome news, planning for industrial action did impact some services and appointments.
If you have an appointment with a GP practice, hospital or other clinic, please make sure you go to it unless you are told not to.
If appointments or treatments need to be rearranged or cancelled, you will be contacted. Please do not contact your GP, hospital or clinic to check as you will be advised on how your appointment will be rescheduled.
We recognise the concern and frustration that this may cause, and thank you for your understanding.
