Keeping you comfortable

We have a range of specialist beds and hoists which can adapt to the needs of most patients. Tell staff if you have a physical need so that they can make your hospital stay or visit easier.

We provide easy access comfortable chairs in some rooms, particularly for patients who need to sit out of bed as part of their recovery.

All patient bathrooms can be accessed in a wheelchair.
