Trusted care and staffing across Telford

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Telford and the wider Shropshire area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

Local knowledge across Telford

Telford is one of the largest towns in Shropshire, a planned new town that grew up around older settlements and market towns. Its communities are spread across distinctive districts such as Wellington, Oakengates, Dawley, Madeley, Hadley, Donnington, Priorslee and Ketley, with the historic town of Newport to the north east and the riverside village of Ironbridge to the south. Care needs vary just as much across the area, from the newer estates around the town centre to the older high streets of Wellington and Oakengates, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

The area is covered by the TF postcodes, running from TF1 around Wellington and Hadley through TF2 in Oakengates and Donnington, TF3 near the town centre and Dawley, TF7 in Madeley and TF8 in Ironbridge. Landmarks give the town its character too, from the Wrekin, the well loved hill that rises above the town, to the Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the world's first iron bridge, and the green expanse of Telford Town Park in the heart of the town.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at the Princess Royal Hospital in Apley, which forms the Telford site of the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and serves patients across Telford, Wrekin and the rest of Shropshire. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in the area is overseen by Telford and Wrekin Council, the unitary authority. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
