A supplier to the NHS has advised them of a global shortage of some equipment used for taking blood tests. NHS England have therefore issued guidance to GP surgeries that all non urgent blood tests be halted.
Anyone who needs a test for urgent health problems will still get one, but where your clinician recommends that its safe to do so routine and monitoring tests will be rescheduled as and when we are able.
If you have concerns or your condition changes, please contact the surgery.
