  • Outpatients page on the Trust’s website.
  • According to the Trust’s Facebook (13th February at 10.29 am):
      • For appointments at clinics 5, 6, 32, R3, 43, 21, 14, PUVA, Physio, CT Scanning, Ultrasound and Oncology the check in system has not changed. Please check in as usual at the clinic reception.
      • For all other clinics, please check in at our Outpatient Entrance reception (Level 2). Our reception team will check you in and direct you where to go.

      • MyChart has the most up-to-date location details (even if your letter or the NHS app shows something different).
