It will increase the number of day case operations, leading to shorter waiting times and improved services for specialities such as ear, nose, and throat procedures, orthopaedics, gynaecology, and general surgery, among others.

The project is said to be part of the Hospitals Transformation Programme, which seeks to enhance health and care for communities in the region.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust Surgery, Anaesthetics and Cancer divisional medical director and Hospitals Transformation Programme Planned Care clinical lead Dr Steve McKew said: “This fantastic investment in the hospital site at Telford will transform how we deliver our day surgery benefiting patients from across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid-Wales.
