1. Practical information, not medical advice
This website is a visitor and patient guide. It describes how to get to the hospital, what a visit normally involves, what to prepare and what to ask. It is not a substitute for a personal assessment, examination or plan made by a qualified physician, and nothing here describes your own case.
2. Times and arrangements vary
Travel and waiting times vary, and a first visit can take considerably longer than expected. Hospital routes, entrances, queues and services can change, and this guide may not reflect a change made after it was last reviewed. Practical and logistical information should be confirmed with the hospital before you rely on it.
3. This guide cannot replace your own instructions
Where this website differs from the instructions given to you by the hospital, your clinical team or a member of staff, follow the instructions you were given. If a plan changes, the hospital will tell you.
4. Seek professional advice
If you become unwell while travelling to or waiting at the hospital — chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, severe pain or heavy bleeding — tell a member of staff immediately or attend the emergency department rather than waiting for your appointment. For general questions, contact the hospital or your own physician.
