Accessing the hospital out of hours
There may be times when you need to leave or attend the hospital outside of normal hospital opening hours.
Please speak with the ward team before leaving or attending.
They will explain the correct access route to ensure you do not need to go through the Emergency Department.
A clear process is in place to support relatives attending out of hours. This includes:
- A designated route for relatives.
- Security staff available to assist.
- Ward staff providing access guidance.
These arrangements are in place to help you reach your loved one safely and with dignity. If you are unsure, please contact the ward.
