Staying in hospital / having an operation

Patients stay in hospital for medical or surgical treatment. 

Please read our Information for Patients Leaflet /Booklet, it is full of very useful advice and information.

When you arrive at the hospital, you'll be welcomed by a member of staff, who will explain the processes to you and what to expect.

You'll be given an identity bracelet to wear at all times while you're in the hospital.

While you're in hospital, you should be involved in all decisions about your treatment.

If you wish, staff will keep members of your family or friends informed about your progress.

Keeping you safe and well while in hospital is a priority for the staff looking after you. There are also some simple things you can do to help keep yourself safe during your hospital stay - view our helpful leaflets and watch the video.
