Mid Wales Joint Committee/Cyd-Bwllgor Canolbarth Cymru

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust are inviting the public to learn more about plans to transform local hospital services at a series of information drop-in sessions taking place across libraries this winter.

The sessions are part of a winter roadshow for the Hospitals Transformation Programme (HTP), giving people the opportunity to find out more about the upcoming changes to the organisation of hospital health services from 2028 and ask any questions they may have.

The multi-million pound investment will improve care for everyone through modern, purpose-built facilities and ensure more people get the care they need, at the right time and in the right place.

Each drop-in session will be informal, with no need to book in advance.

Drop-in sessions:
• Wellington Civic and Leisure Centre – 8 January, 10am-12pm
• Newport Community Library – 13 January, 10am-1pm
• Whitchurch Library – 23 January, 9.30am-12.30pm
• Oswestry Library – 28 January, 9.30pm-12.30pm
• Broseley Library – 6 February, 10am-1pm
• Ludlow Library – 11 February, 10am-2pm
• Newtown Library – 24 February, 10am-1pm
• Donnington Community Hub as part of the Live Well Hub – 6 March, 9.30am-11.30am
• Madeley Library – 12 March, 10am-1pm
• Bishops Castle Library – 20 March, 10am-1pm
• Welshpool Library – 23 March, 10am-1pm

Dr Ed Rysdale, Emergency Medicine Consultant and HTP Clinical Lead, said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for people to understand what HTP means for them and their families.

“Holding sessions in local libraries allows us to meet people in their communities and answer their questions ahead of these changes taking place in 2028.”
