Ward 25 is a Cardiothoracic Surgical Ward which specialises in providing care for adults before and after having heart and chest surgery and need a high level of nursing and medical care.
We also sometimes look after patients who have had heart, lung or heart and lung transplant surgery when they are well enough after being cared for in our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (Ward 26).
