Important information for patients and visitors
On Wednesday 9 September, between 7am and 8am, we will be carrying out essential upgrades to our core IT network.
During this time:
- Our telephone system will be affected and we may be unable to answer some calls. To help us manage urgent issues, we ask that you only call the hospital during this period if it is an emergency.
- 999 and NHS 111 telephone numbers are unaffected and can be used as normal.
- Card payments will not be available in our restaurants, cafés and vending machines. If you are planning to buy food or drinks during this time, please bring cash with you.
These upgrades are important and will help improve the reliability and security of our digital systems.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work.
