Interactive Map of the Hospital

Internal Transport

The Buggy is available to assist you in your appointment.  It will be in operation from 08.30 am to 16.30 pm Monday to Friday.  You can contact the Concourse Reception or the Porters Desk on arrival to the hospital.  This buggy can accommodate you with transport to the main Outpatients, X-Ray Department and Gems/Endoscopy Outpatients.  It cannot go to the wards (as the lifts are unable to take the size of the buggy).

If there are any queries please contact Ita Cadwell, Concourse Manager, Tel:  01 4103914
