Facilities
What is here, and what it means if you are the patient.
50
Beds
If you need to be admitted, you can stay here. We do not have to find you a bed at another hospital.
2
Theatre suites
Two theatres means a second operation can begin without waiting for the first to finish — which matters most when one of them is an emergency.
3
Consulting rooms
Three rooms means more than one clinic can run at the same time, so a busy morning does not become a single queue.
Laboratory
Blood, urine, stool and other samples are analysed here on site, rather than being sent away and waited on.
About the departmentImaging
Ultrasound, X-ray and ECG, in the same building as the doctor who ordered them.
About the departmentOpen, whatever the hour
None of this is on a rota. The hospital runs 24 hours a day with a doctor on site, every day of the year.
