About the Ward

Medical Short Stay is an 18-bed unit situated on the first floor in Zone C (C20) one floor above the Lansdown Restaurant. Our state-of-the-art ward is sub-divided into four 4-bed areas plus two isolation rooms, each with an en-suite shower and toilet.

The ward specialises in patients admitted with low-risk chest pain. Other patients are also admitted with a variety of medical conditions who can be treated and discharged within 1 to 2.5 days.

Our ward philosophy is to care for each of our patients as an individual, providing a supportive environment that promotes independence and dignity and the highest standards of clinical treatment.

Working closely with A&E and the Medical Assessment Unit, we have daily consultant rounds and fast track investigation slots to manage and treat our patients quickly and safely ready for discharge home.

Personal Belongings

The hospital cannot accept responsibility or any liability for cash, valuables or personal property brought into hospital unless these are handed to the ward for safekeeping and an official receipt issued.
