You will be asked to bring in all your medication from home. This will be locked away in a safe place and your nurse will bring your medicines to you at the correct times. On discharge, we will return your own medication to you and your doctor will write any further prescriptions that you may need.
Please ring the bell at any time you require assistance. Nursing staff are happy to answer your questions – we want you to feel supported during your stay.
Your general practitioner is your doctor while you are an inpatient. If you, or your family/whanau, wish to speak to your doctor you can ask the nursing staff.
If family/whanau or friends phone to enquire, staff can take a phone to your room for you to talk to them. Local calls can be made by request. Cell phones may be used, but please be considerate of others privacy.

If there is a fire or smoke in your room, please ring the bell continuously until staff arrive. If you are able to get out of bed and it is safe to do so, please leave the room and alert a staff member immediately. In the event of a fire in other parts of the hospital, please follow the instructions of our staff.
Like all public buildings and surrounds this is a smoke free zone. However there is a designated smoking area outside the building for patients only. Any staff member can show you where this area is.
