Nottinghamshire hospitals - phlebotomy critical incident

[IMBCRound2]

Just seen the critical incident alert for Nottinghamshire hospitals trust and wondering how it will impact screening.

i had my combined test last Thursday and was starting to breath as it had been three working days but now I’m panicking that both good and bad news will delayed .

obviously will check with my midwife in the morning but was wondering if anyone in the county had received an update or heard anything !

I work there, I'd hang on another couple of days, sorry

Thought that might be the case 😭😭😭

i know it’s not the end of the world but I just want to tell my little girl she’s going to be a big sister but I don’t want to say anything until I know !

BBC says they are prioritising the "most urgent blood tests including cancer and pre-op services". They are also asking people not to attend for blood tests. (Other appointments operating as normal).

I'm guessing non urgent tests will be delayed.
