Being Admitted

You will have received a letter telling you your admission date. Telephone the number to confirm your bed is available and you will be advised where to come. You may wish to bring a relative or friend to help you settle in. Sometimes the number of emergency admissions is higher than expected, in which case we may need to cancel an admission (you will be given a new date within 28 days).

Post

Post is collected and delivered every weekday. Post for collection should be given to a member of the ward. Please make sure your relatives and friends know the name of the ward you are on, as this will enable your post to be delivered promptly.
