More than 12,000 appointments have been rescheduled due to industrial action at University Hospital Southampton (UHS) since the end of 2022, new figures show.
Analysis of NHS England data shows that all the appointments were in acute outpatient or inpatient settings.
In addition, 11,737 working days were lost due to strikes.
The figures cover various parts of the NHS workforce – consultants, nurses and other occupations have been on strike over the past two years.
Not every cancelled appointment involved junior doctors, who have recently agreed to end their long-running strike action.
Across England, more than 1.5 million appointments have been rescheduled, with more than a million working days lost.

On Monday, the BMA Junior Doctors Committee in England accepted the government’s pay offer, with 66 per cent of junior doctors voting in favour of the deal.
Dr Trivedi, co-chairman of the committee, told BBC Breakfast: "This is the first step towards restoring pay, which is all that doctors have wanted since the beginning of this campaign.
"We’ve had a huge pay cut since 2008, but this marks a change in that trajectory.
"Doctors who were being paid just over £15-an-hour before this offer will now be paid a little over £17-an-hour, so it does mark an improvement, but the journey is not over."
The deal will see junior doctors’ pay rise by between 3.71 per cent and 5.05 per cent – an average of 4.05 per cent – on top of their existing pay award for 2023-24. This will be backdated to April 2023.
Each part of the pay scale will also be uplifted by 6 per cent, plus £1,000, with an effective date of April 1 2024.
Both rises mean a doctor starting foundation training in the NHS will see base pay increase to £36,600, up from about £32,400, while a full-time doctor entering specialty training will see their pay rise to £49,900 from about £43,900.

Health secretary Wes Streeting called the deal a "necessary first step" to cutting waiting lists and reforming the health service.
He said: "We inherited a broken NHS, the most devastating dispute in the health service’s history, and negotiations hadn’t taken place with the previous ministers since March.
"Things should never have been allowed to get this bad. That’s why I made ending the strikes a priority, and we negotiated an end to them in just three weeks.
"I am pleased that our offer has been accepted, ending the strikes ahead of looming winter pressures on the NHS."
