What changes are planned at our hospitals?
In summary, our plans will see:
- Most hospital services for most patients continuing exactly where they are now
- Some services moving from Shrewsbury to Telford. Telford will benefit from a new Women and Children's Unit which will be for consultant-led maternity services, inpatient children's services, inpatient gynaecology services and inpatient head and neck services and children's cancer and haematology services, which be based in a brand new unit
- Some services moving from Telford to Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury will become the main base for inpatient acute general surgery and will benefit from a new and refurbished Cancer and Haematology Centre when it opens in autumn 2012
