On the day, Radiology (apart from ultrasound) will be closed. Breast Screen services will be running from 9.30am-3pm. Outpatient services for ultrasound will be from 9am-4.30pm.
Pathology will be open for outpatients as per usual and Dental services will continue as per usual.
Emergency Department will operate as per usual. Chemotherapy services will operate as per usual. Haemodialysis will operate at slightly different hours.
Visitation to Acute Ward will be permitted as per the rules on the day.
Maternity services will be on bypass from the evening prior and throughout the day.
Surgery will be cancelled. Most outpatient clinics will be transferred to Cowes (patients to be advised).
There will be lighting operating in the main front carpark and Emergency Department carparks.
We thank everyone for their understanding and patience, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
