Update on global shortage of blood tests equipment – what it means for patients
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.

Important Patient Information 27/07/2020
A message for our patients,
We hope you are staying healthy and safe.
In the challenging times of pandemic crisis, we reviewed how to deliver a safe and high quality care to our patients. We came to a decision of cancelling our walk in clinics Monday - Friday to keep our patients safe.
It involves a risk to people in waiting room. In order to protect patients’ safety, all appointments will be triaged first on phone. Face to Face appointment will be given in view of the clinical need.
In rare occasions where patients have no mobile phones or internet access, please let us know so we can arrange a mutual way to address this.
Wishing you safe and good health.
