The NHS across the Thames Valley is preparing for further national strike action by resident doctors (previously known as junior doctors) from 7am on Wednesday 7 April 2026 until 7am Monday 13 April 2026.

Our aim is to plan and organise health services in an effective, more joined‑up way so we can improve health and care for the 2.5 million people living in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, so we are highlighting the simple actions that can help reduce your risk and improve early diagnosis of this common cancer.

With the Easter weekend bank holidays fast approaching, people across Thames Valley are being reminded to collect repeat prescriptions in plenty of time.

As we move into spring, we want to help our residents stay healthy and protected. COVID-19 is still with us, and for those at higher risk, a “booster” dose helps top up your protection. 

Young Carers Action Day is an annual event, organised by Carers Trust, to raise awareness of young carers and the incredible contribution they make to their families and local communities
