Address & description
Ulster Hospital is run by the Ulster Community and Hospitals HSS Trust. There is a new MRI Scanner, which further extends the diagnostic range the department can offer and consolidates the Hospital as a Cancer Unit. With the opening of the Neely Ward, the former gynaecology ward has been refurbished and opened as a new, much-needed general medical ward facilitating an extra 20 beds.
Other introductions to the service include an in-hours pacemaker screening service and an endo-rectal ultrasound system. Members of Mental Health teams have been participating in a first on-call service, which is an out-of-hours cover, providing a prompt response to doctors in the hospital who have a query about a patient with suspected mental health issues. This allows patients to be offered an appropriate service for their needs and not be admitted unnecessarily, preventing them from wasting time, and helping to free up beds and reduce waiting times.

It encourages collaborative working across all relevant NHS organisations, particularly between ambulance services and hospitals to reduce delays to thrombolytic treatment. The call for professional help will usually be direct to the ambulance service but may be to a GP or NHS Direct. The Department of Health has set NHS organisations in England the target of 68% of patients receiving thrombolytic treatment within 60 minutes of calling for professional help.
