Patients who need to stay in hospital for one or more nights are called 'inpatients'.

You will be offered the first available date for your treatment, with three weeks' notice. If the date you are offered is not convenient, a second date will be offered.

It is essential that you contact us as soon as possible if you cannot attend. We will then be able to offer the place to another patient and re-arrange yours.

If you don't turn up, or if you cancel at unreasonably short notice, you will not be offered a further date but will be returned to your GP for further care unless there are exceptional circumstances.

If you have any other enquiries, please contact the Booking Centre.
