Ward 38 Gastroenterology

Ward 38 is a twenty-eight bed ward that cares for twenty-four gastroenterology beds and four colorectal surgery beds. The ward admits patient direct from ED, endoscopy, PRH and our acute medical unit. We care for a wide range of patients with gastroenterology conditions. The aim of the ward is to provide the specialist treatment they require and to facilitate their safe discharge/clinic follow-ups once their treatment has ended.

When visiting us at the ward we politely ask;

• That you make sure mobile phones are on silent.
• You avoid bringing flowers onto the ward due to hygiene reasons.
• Visitors avoid sitting on patient beds.
• There are no more than two visitors at a bedside.
• Chairs are put away at the end of each visit.
• Hand rub that is located on the main ward door is used when entering and leaving the ward. This is an important infection control measure.
