When You Arrive

Refreshments and Food

We understand that eating healthily and enjoying your food is an important part of your care. We have a selection of menus available and we are sure that you will find some of your favourites on offer.

Accommodation

We have a range of single ensuite rooms and same sex shared ensuite rooms for patients. We know it is important to be able to keep in touch with friends and family and feel at home during your treatment and so we have free WiFi access for patients and we can also offer free telephone calls. Each of the beds in the treatment centre has a private television so that you can watch your favourite TV shows while you are recovering from treatment or waiting beforehand. If you would like religious or spiritual support during your treatment we can provide access to an appropriate person from a variety of faiths and denominations. 

Visitors

We want your stay to be as pleasant as possible and understand the importance of seeing friends and family during your treatment, so we have a flexible visiting policy so that you and your visitors can work out what best suits you and your treatment schedule. We would ask all visitors to report to the Nurses Station upon arrival on the first floor to ensure that the patient is available.

Accessibility

All areas of our treatment centre are accessible to wheelchair users. Portable hearing loops are available at the main reception desk and can be carried around the treatment centre as required. Our patient information is available in a range of languages, large print and Braille on request from the main reception desk. We also have an interpretation service available to support you if English is not your preferred language.
