INFORMATION ON BLOOD TESTS

A supplier to the NHS has advised us of a global shortage of some equipment used for taking blood tests.

Anyone who needs a test for urgent health problems will still get one, but where your clinician recommends that it’s safe to do so, then you may be asked to come back for a test at a later date, or your appointment may be rescheduled.

Given the nature of the shortage, we cannot give an exact date for when the test will be rescheduled, but please be assured that if your condition or symptoms require it, then you will get a test, and we will be re-booking your test when supplies become more easily available.

If your condition or symptoms change or get worse, please contact the NHS as you would normally.

VISITING ACROSS ALL INPATIENT WARDS AND DEPARTMENTS

Before visiting, all visitors need to contact the area they wish to visit to discuss arrangements and book an appropriate time for visiting to take place. All visitors are required to wear a mask while attending our sites and are strongly encouraged to do a lateral flow test as a means of protecting their loves ones prior to visiting. Please note there will be restrictions in place in certain areas.

HOW TO CANCEL OR RE-ARRANGE YOUR APPOINTMENT

If you can’t attend a face-to-face or virtual appointment, even if it is the last minute, please let us know so we can re-arrange it and offer the slot to help someone else.

You can cancel and re-arrange appointments by calling or emailing: 01926 600 036 / OutpatientsAppointments@swft.nhs.uk
