Construction work by North Wing on the morning of Sunday, 4 August

24 July 2024

If you are visiting our main hospital site on Sunday, 4 August, please be aware that there will be disruption on site between 9am and 10.30am.

As part of work to upgrade the procedure suite on East Wing to a theatre, a new air handling unit will be delivered and craned into place on site. To do this, we will need to briefly close part of the road and pavement that starts at our main entrance on Williams Avenue and leads up to North Wing. This will happen over two 15-minute periods. During this time traffic will be managed by contractors and hospital staff. If you arrive on site during this time, you will be diverted towards the multi-storey car park and the parking areas by East Wing near the pencils sculpture. If you are leaving from the North Wing area during this time, there may be a slight delay but you will not be expected to pay any extra parking charges.

Patient transport vehicles will also be able to park in the Robert White Theatre car park between 6am and midday to collect patients waiting to be discharged from the Portesham Unit.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
