Monday 13 October

On Thursday 16 and Friday 17 October 2025 our contractors will be lifting construction materials near our Emergency Department (A&E) via a temporary crane that will be set up outside at the front of the department.

The crane, and lifting zone will be fenced off to staff, patients, and visitors to keep everyone safe. This means, that on the two days the crane is in operation, colleagues, patients, and visitors will have to access the Emergency Department (A&E) via the external route shown below. The entrance to the department remains unaffected except during material lifts, where a marshal will escort you into the building.

The Emergency Department (A&E) will be open throughout this. Please continue to access services as you currently do and help us by thinking which service is best for your needs.
