Things you need to know
- We realise that family and friends are anxious to find out information about patients' progress. However we would appreciate if you could nominate one person to ring the ward for information.
- If your relative requires high dependency care following their operation, please collect property and valuables on the day of surgery from the ward as there is limited storage available.
- Please do not bring fresh flowers onto the ward. This is to help with infection control.
