A clearer route into specialist community care

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.

Extended evening visiting begins this month

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.
