Altnagelvin wards to be temporarily relocated for six or seven months for essential works
A number of wards at Altnagelvin will be temporarily relocated for six to seven months to allow for works.
“Over the coming weeks, a number of wards at Altnagelvin Hospital will temporarily relocate within the site to support essential improvement works and ensure the continued delivery of safe, high-quality patient care. The ward moves will take place between July 1 and July 8 and will remain in place for approximately six to seven months,” the Western Trust said.
Separately Altnagelvin’s new Care of our Older People in-patient beds at Ward 5, will move permanently to the newly refurbished Ward 5 site at Waterside Hospital in Gransha.
“Patients and visitors are advised that wards will continue to be known by their current ward numbers, with their new location clearly signposted.
"Ward telephone numbers will remain unchanged and move with each ward. All services will continue to operate throughout this period, and every effort will be made to minimise disruption for patients, families and visitors,” said WHSCT.
