Hospitals Transformation Programme ‘About Health’ Events

Join one of our ‘About Health’ event and meet members of the Hospital Transformation team and key clinical leads to find out more on how the plans have been developed, opportunities for you to get involved and what will happen next.

These events will give you the latest update on the Hospitals Transformation Programme (HTP).

HTP will be central to us developing two thriving hospitals that can deliver better care for everyone, including:

  • Enhanced urgent care services that will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at both sites
  • A dedicated Emergency Department in Shrewsbury for everyone in Shropshire, Telford, Wrekin and mid Wales, with faster access to medical and surgical specialties
  • Dedicated facilities in Telford for planned care for everyone in Shropshire, Telford, Wrekin and mid Wales, reducing the number of delays to scheduled appointments and operations and;
  • Services that are more resilient to future pressures
Help us develop two thriving hospital sites
