Senior clinicians and hospital leaders today (Friday) met with health partners and patient representatives to continue discussions over the best way of keeping patients safe in the event of fragile services becoming unsustainable.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH), which runs the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) and Telford’s Princess Royal Hospital (PRH), is examining what short-term measures could be taken ahead of a decision by NHS Future Fit, which will define the future of healthcare for generations to come.
