-
• Need to work out which hospital they may be at?
-
• Want some basic information on what the hospital is like?

• Or even just to know how much it will cost to park at the hospital?

HOSPITAL INFO
PATIENT SUPPORT
NHS SERVICES
“Doctor Foster” is a brilliant online resource providing tonnes of information about each UK hospital (NHS and private).
You can easily find the following for every hospital in the directory:
-
• Full address
-
• Phone Number
-
• Map
-
• Number of parking spaces
-
• Cost of parking
-
• General information
Still haven’t found what you need? Then perhaps you need to search the comprehensive NHS website.
You can search for hospitals, GPs and dentists, find out about conditions and treatments, and there’s a special area for carers that is well worth a look.
The PALS (Patient Advice & LIaison Service) service is appropriately named. They are in nearly every NHS hospital and their job is to provide on-the-spot help to patients and their supporters.
Seek them out at your hospital if you need non-medical assistance, including:
-
• Hospital information
-
• Resolving concerns or problems
-
• Helping with complaints
-
• Finding support groups
-
• Identifying service problems
