🚨 IMPORTANT PATIENT NEWS - CANCELLED BLOOD TESTS 🚨

We have been informed by East Lancashire Hospitals Trust that staff working in the Blood Sciences departments at Blackburn Royal Hospital and Burnley General Hospital will be taking part in industrial action on the following dates:

📅 15 to 19 June
📅 22 to 26 June
📅 29 June to 3 July
📅 6 to 10 July

Unfortunately, this means the laboratories at both hospitals will have a significantly reduced workforce capacity. With this in mind many upcoming blood tests at the surgery will have to be cancelled since there is no guarantee they will be tested.

We appreciate this may be frustrating, but we would politely ask patients not to contact the practice to chase up for a re-scheduled blood test appointment, as we will be unable to book anything at present until we learn more.

Thank you to all patients for your continued support and understanding.
