We’re doing some essential works to replace and reinforce the flooring in the Majors unit of our HRI Accident and Emergency Department.
The works will start on Monday (13 July) and it’s estimated that they will take seven to eight weeks to complete.
What that means is that while the service is still operating as normal, the Majors team will be temporarily based in ward H36, which is slightly smaller than the area they usually occupy.
Please don’t be concerned. If you need us, we are here for you – and you can continue to access the service by coming to the Emergency Department as normal. Signage is also in place to help you get to where you need to be.
What we do ask is that if there are alternative services which could be better placed to meet your needs – such as the Urgent Treatment Centre, your GP or Pharmacist – that you do this in the first instance so that we can prioritise A&E for those in greatest need.
Thank you for your support and apologies for any disruption as a result of these essential works.
