Hospitals Transformation Programme – Focus Groups

Register to join any of our focus groups at sath.engagement@nhs.net

Plans to transform our hospital services in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and mid Wales are underway. We want you, our local communities and patients, to have the opportunity to get involved and give your views and feedback to help inform and shape our plans to improve care for everyone.

The plans will see the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford specialise in planned care and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital specialise in emergency care. Patients benefit from:

  • fewer cancellations and delays for planned procedures,
  • and a more streamlined and effective emergency care service, with fewer ambulance handover delays, delivered from a dedicated, modern Emergency Department.
Help us develop two thriving hospital sites

We are organising focus groups which will meet regularly over the next three years as plans develop. The focus groups are aligned to the clinical workstreams within the HTP programme.

In recognition of the general election announced on 22nd May, we will be rearranging our Hospitals Transformation Programme (HTP) roadshows, events, focus groups, and other community engagement events until after the election. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and will share new dates for all these sessions as soon as we are able to.

The next scheduled focus groups are:

  • Medicine, Emergency Care, Surgery, Anaesthetics, and Cancer – Thursday 11th July, 10:00-12:00
  • Women and Children’s – Friday 12th July, 10:30-12:30

‘Drop-in’ sessions in the local area
