We realise that coming into the hospital can be a stressful and anxious time. Generally, you will spend your post-treatment time on a ward. We aim to look after men and women in separate areas, which could be a whole ward or a bay within a ward.  

While we try to keep you in the same location throughout your stay, however, on occasion it is necessary to move from one bed area to another.  

There are many reasons for this including: 

• Moving from a higher dependency bed to a step-down area where more appropriate ‘getting ready for going home’ care can be provided 
• Moving patients to prevent and control infections
• The need to move patients to protect ‘same sex’ areas
