About: The Princess Royal Hospital (Telford)

Anything else?

i was being treated for Lymphoedema for many years by a marvelous doctor who left to go elsewhere. Since they have gone, there is no lymphodema clinic there anymore. I now have to go out of the area to get the advice and treatment i need, as there is no provision for this treatment in Shropshire. I also have to relie on really good nurses from my gp and local hospice to bandage my legs for me which is not their duty. This is in no way a grumble as the hospital were really good but i would like to know why this service had to close.
