Coming Into Hospital

We recognise that coming into hospital can be a stressful and an unnerving experience. At the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth we are committed to the welfare of all our patients and you will find all staff will work hard to ensure your stay with us is a positive experience.

The Admissions brochure is a complete guide on what to expect on admission and gives you a few simple ideas on what you must bring into hospital with you. If you have any questions about your admission please do not hesitate to contact our Admissions Team who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

PLEASE NOTE- Due to our HJE 2020 development, the Circus Road entrance to the hospital will be closed until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The Admission Procedure

When you arrive, come to the main entrance in Grove End Road and notify the receptionist of your arrival.  A member of the Admissions Team will show you to your room where you will meet your nurse who will help you settle in. Once you are settled, essential medical information will be taken and you will be given the opportunity to discuss your procedure with a member of the medical team.  Any queries you may have regarding your treatment will then be answered.

Although your consultant is not in the Hospital day and night, we have a team of specialist registrars who remain in the Hospital 24 hours a day and are in close contact with your consultant at all times. During your stay, you may come into contact with a range of clinical specialists including radiographers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and cardiac technicians.  All staff are highly trained in their area of specialty ensuring the very best in service and care.  Any staff visiting your room will all have ID showing their name and their role within the Hospital.
