Update on global shortage of blood tests equipment

What this means for patients:

A supplier to the NHS has advised us of a global shortage of some equipment used for taking blood tests. As a result, hospitals and GP surgeries are being asked to help to carefully manage their use until stock levels are back to normal.

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, you may be asked to come back for a test in the near future, or your appointment may be rescheduled.

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, you will get a test, and we will be re-booking routine tests when supplies become more easily available.

If your condition or symptoms change or get worse, please contact the NHS as you would normally.

Are you a Carer?

Are you a carer? Are you being cared for? Have you notified your GP? Do you know what services are available to support you? Please contact us to notify us if you are a carer or being cared for and we will update your records. The practice maintains a register of carers and people being cared for, if you feel you should be on this register please let us know. We are not able to offer any specific help ourselves, but it is helpful for us to know that you have this additional responsibility to cope with and we are able to signpost you to organisations who can help. Also as a carer you may be entitled to additional health services such as vaccinations, so it is important that we have you registered as a carer on our clinical system so that you don’t miss any invitations. If you have any questions or not sure if you should be listed as a carer, please contact the practice via our email address cwsccg.selsey-selsey@nhs.net or you can call us on 01243 608201 and we will be happy to advise.
