Things you need to know
- Visiting times are between 14:00 and 16:00pm and 18:00 and 20:00 every day. We do appreciate that visitors may have a long way to travel and visiting outside of these set times may be arranged in certain circumstances and at the discretion of the nurse in charge.
- Nursing staff are always available for information regarding a patient’s treatment and progress. If you wish to speak to a member of the medical team please bear in mind that after 16:00 and at weekends wards are covered by an ‘on-call’ team which may be different to your consultant’s team.
- If you are admitted for elective surgery you will have attended a pre-admission clinic and will have been advised of the likely length of hospital stay to expect.
- If you require a longer period of rehabilitation or treatment and are from outside Newcastle you will be referred to their local hospital. We do understand this may be upsetting for some patients and their carers but it is vital we adhere to this policy to ensure we can continue to admit all emergency cases as quickly as possible.
Location of ward
Ward 43 is located in the Leazes Wing at the RVI.
