Due to a national shortage of blood bottles in the UK, we have been advised by the NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to significantly reduce the amount of blood test appointments we can offer patients as soon as possible. Until further notice, we will only be able to conduct blood tests in clinically urgent circumstances. Blood tests that are extremely overdue and/or essential for safe prescribing of medication or monitoring of condition.
Some patients may be contacted by Coleridge Medical Centre within the next few days to rearrange their blood tests. We understand that this can be incredibly frustrating, but please try to remember that this situation is out of our hands, and it is not through any fault of our reception staff, nurses or GPs. Chris, Kate, Juliet and I are now just four partners here at the Coleridge Medical Centre.
In addition to the enormous clinical challenges we have experienced throughout the last twelve months, we have also been able to restructure our medical team.

Increasingly, patient medical data is shared e.g. between GP surgeries and District Nursing, in order to give clinicians access to the most up to date information when attending patients.
The systems we operate require that any sharing of medical information is consented to by patients beforehand.
Patients must consent to sharing of the data held by a health provider out to other health providers and must also consent to which of the other providers can access their data.
In this case, patients would allow the surgery to share their data, they would allow the district nurses to access it but they would not allow access by the podiatry department.
