Shortage of critical care anaesthetists at hospital
A report has highlighted problems with a shortage of out-of-hours anaesthetists at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
Copyright: BBCShrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has been in special measures since November 2018 - it said the shortage was a national issue and one it was working to address.
The report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said vacancies at the site meant there were not always enough skilled staff to carry out the right care and treatment, however it added the risk to patients was mitigated by staff working across the trust's sites and by using general anaesthetic staff out of hours.
Inspectors reported some anaesthetic staff did not always feel respected, supported or valued by senior staff and that some general anaesthetic consultants felt they did not have the up-to-date skills and knowledge to care for patients with more complex needs.
Dr Arne Rose, medical director at the trust, said: "We are grateful to the CQC for acknowledging that the leadership team is aware of current challenges and that we have improved and strengthened our process while we seek to address these."

Leftover vaccine doses given to emergency service workers
BBC Radio Shropshire
Health bosses in Shropshire have admitted leftover doses of the Covid-19 vaccine are being given to police officers and other emergency service workers to save them being wasted.

The move has also happened at the Telford International Centre and at other GP surgeries.
Dave Evans, who commissions healthcare services in Shropshire, has defended the move.
Quote Message: If you had two or three people not turn up for their booked appointment, your options are throw the vaccine away or find someone else to vaccinate that either is on site already or could come in. Someone may come in with a carer towards the end of the day and we had... vaccine left over and that carer was then offered a vaccine from David Evans Chief officer at Telford and Wrekin CCGMore than 150 weddings rearranged in one week
