Update on blood tests

Unfortunately, despite ongoing discussions with NHS Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, a suitable resolution has not yet been found to enable the phlebotomy service to continue from here after 25^th June.

While we are still hopeful that a local solution will be found we must ask for now, that all patients who need a blood test attend the Path Lab at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, or the Community Diagnostic Clinics in either Telford or Whitchurch.

Appointments can be made by telephone on 01743 492510 or online at: https://www.sath.nhs.uk/wards-services/az-services/pathology/phlebotomy/book-a-blood-test

This is not a decision we wanted to make, and we are aware of the impact that this will have on many of our patients, however we cannot continue to offer additional services that are not appropriately funded and potentially jeopardise our ability to offer our core contracted services. 

We ask that you direct any complaints you may have about this decision to NHS Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin via STW.patientservices@nhs.net

Please do not complain to our reception team, they are following instructions from the partners.

We thank you all for understanding and support over this matter and ask for your continued support us as we try to find a solution.
