What to expect
Ward rounds
Multi disciplinary ward rounds are undertaken daily. Your nurse lets you know when your doctor is likely to see you. We can arrange for a nurse or doctor to speak to a family member by prior arrangement.
Meal times
Having a healthy balanced diet and good fluid intake is vital to your recovery from illness. Our mealtimes are:
- breakfast at 8am
- hot cooked lunch at 12.30pm
- dinner at 5.30pm
Let us know if you would like us, a relative or carer to assist you at mealtimes. We cater for special dietary requirements.
Flowers
Due to allergies, infection control issues and space, we kindly ask that flowers are not brought on to the ward.
Mobile phones and Wi-Fi
You can use mobile phones and other electronic equipment on the ward, as long as they are used respectfully. Wi-Fi is available so ask us for details.
Recovery
Recovery is a team effort and you play an important part to help you to recover quickly. Keep moving during and after your stay on the ward. The physiotherapists can give you exercises and ideas. Keep doing as much as possible for yourself to maintain your muscle strength and functional abilities.
Valuables
We recommend you leave all your valuables at home as we don't accept any responsibility for their loss or damage.
What to bring
On admission, you need to bring:
- all medications you’re currently taking
- loose casual clothes and night wear

- necessary toiletries
As part of your care assessment, we encourage you to wash and dress as independently as possible.
When we discharge you
It’s important that you arrange to be collected when you’re discharged. Let us know if you need a medical certificate. We’ll let you know of any outpatient appointments you need by a letter sent in the post. You may be referred to the Rapid Response Reablement Team or other services if required.
