To mark International Nurses Day 2024, staff from Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust (ShropCom) are coming together to host a week of celebrations to show their nursing staff how much they are valued.
Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust (ShropCom) are pleased to announce that following a dedicated period of recruitment the Trust now has sufficient staff to be able to safely reopen the inpatient service at Bishop’s Castle Community Hospital.
Two Rehabilitation and Recovery Units have opened at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, adding additional bed capacity on each hospital site (Princess Royal Hospital, Telford and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital) for people who no longer need to be in an acute hospital bed but can’t be supported safely at home. The care at the units will be delivered by Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust.
We know the decision on whether we can sustain ShropCom’s delivery of the inpatient bed unit contract at Bishop’s Castle is of great interest to local people. The reason it is under discussion is because over the past 18 months we have not been able to recruit enough registered nurses to work at the unit to safely staff it. To be clear, it is just the inpatient beds contract that is under discussion, not the broader services we provide at Bishop’s Castle.
