When you arrive at the hospital, you’ll be able to park in one of our free car parks. There are disabled spaces for blue badge holders and a convenient drop-off point outside the main hospital entrance.

On entering, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly Reception staff who’ll check you in and advise you where to wait for your appointment. Toilets are available throughout the hospital.

As a new patient, your consultation will last about 20 minutes. To ensure you get the most out of your appointment, we’ve put together some helpful questions you can ask your Consultant:

What options are available for my care?

This will help you better understand your condition and the care that’s available to you. This might include scans, tests, medication, or surgery - or sometimes, no further treatment is needed.

How can I get guidance to make the best decision for me?

Talking to your Consultant about what matters to you will help you them to understand any help you’ll need to make a decision about treatment.

What are the benefits and risks of each option?

Understanding the pros and cons of each option means that you’ll be happier with your care and find it easier to stick to your treatment plan.
