Bishop’s Castle Medical Practice Blood Testing

Update: Monday 24 June 2024

As you may be aware, Bishop’s Castle Medical Practice has previously communicated that they will no longer be providing phlebotomy (blood testing) at the practice as of Tuesday 25 June 2024.

Despite numerous options being explored between the practice and NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, we are still in the process of finding a long-term solution for the phlebotomy (blood testing) service at Bishop’s Castle Medical Practice.

While we are still hopeful that a local solution will be found, we are asking patients who need a blood test to attend either the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, or the Community Diagnostic Clinics (CDCs) in either Telford or Whitchurch from Tuesday 25 June onwards. This will be for a temporary time only until a long-term solution is found. We will keep you regularly updated on any progress made.

We thank you for your understanding and support over this matter as we continue to work hard to find a resolution. Please visit this webpage for any updates in relation to this matter.
