A range of services are provided on an outpatient and day case basis including ENT, gynaecology and paediatrics. Obstetric outpatient and day case service is provided within a community maternity unit.
The maternity unit has held a 'Baby Friendly Hospital' UK Award by UNICEF for its achievements in the promotion of Breast Feeding. There is a modern 90-bed Geriatric Assessment/Stroke Unit (included in bed complement mentioned above). The hospital also has excellent education facilities within their active Post Graduate Education Centre, which has a well stocked library and bank of computers with Internet access, as well as a 80-seat Lecture Theatre and four seminar rooms.
Visiting times in general are from 2.00pm to 3.00pm and 7.00pm to 8.00pm, with some exceptions due to ward procedures.
