Due to the ongoing Covid-19 (Coronavirus) issues our hospital services are currently undergoing a restructuring in order to meet the changing demands on our resources. You may be asked to attend for a video review with our health care providers via our innovative Attend Anywhere video conferencing service or to undergo consultation via telephone.
