Your stay in Hospital

Admission date

Your admission letter tells you the date of your admission, the name of your ward and the consultant who will be taking care of you.

 

If you are unable to attend for your admission, for whatever reason, please let us know as soon as possible, so we can offer your appointment to another patient. You will find the contact telephone number on your admission letter.


Special Instructions?

Please check your admission letter to see if there are any special instructions you need to follow before your admission. For example, you may be asked not to eat or drink or take your medicines before you come to hospital. If you do not understand the instructions or you have questions then please call the ward. You will find the name or number of the ward you are being admitted to on your admission letter.


Morning of my Admission

On the morning of your admission please call the ward where you will be staying to check that a bed is available for you. The contact number is on your admission letter. It is usually late to mid afternoon before you will be admitted. Like any other hospital in the country, it is impossible to predict how many emergency admissions will come into hospital and this may sometimes mean that a bed is not available for you. We are sorry if this happens, a new date will be arranged for you as soon as possible.


Getting to the Hospital

Car parking, travel information, visiting times, numbers of visitors and facilities across the six sites do vary, so please do make use of the information for each hospital.
