Types of patients regularly seen
The Hospital provides care for patients who have been transferred from an acute hospital for:
- Rehabilitation
- Recovery following both routine and non-routine surgery
- Palliative Care (end of life care)
- Out-patients who require Children or Adult services
- People who have sustained a minor injury
- People who require Minor Day Surgery under local anaesthetic or sedation
- People who require diagnostics such as X-Ray, Ultrasound or Endoscopy.
- Patients can also be transferred from main (acute) hospitals (such as the Royal Shrewsbury or Princess Royal hospitals) to in-patient ward for rehabilitation prior to returning home.
For patients who have suffered a minor injury, they can simply attend at the Minor Injury Unit or they may be referred to the Unit by other health professionals.
Local General Practitioners (GPs) may admit patients in to inpatient and outpatient services as they deem appropriate. More details are available by contacting the Locality Clinical Manager opposite.
