Blood Test disruption

Posted on August 27th, 2021

URGENT message to patients requiring a blood test: 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. PLEASE ATTEND YOUR APPOINTMENTS AS NORMAL FOR NOW SO THAT WE REVIEW YOU UPON ARRIVAL.

 

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.
