From Thayer Street
Service developments, hospital stories and practical updates for our community.
A new group of patients, carers and clinicians is reviewing the information people receive before, during and after an appointment. The first changes simplify appointment letters, make preparation steps easier to find and provide one clear point of contact.
Our respiratory and cardiology teams have introduced a shared triage route with local GPs. The approach helps people reach the right clinician sooner and supports more follow-up care close to home.
General ward visiting now runs until 8pm every day, giving families and carers more flexibility. Individual clinical areas may still adjust visits around patient needs.
Check visiting hours, ward guidance and facilities before you travel.
