Ward C705

 

Ward C705 is a yellow ward with 30 beds, eight side rooms and four four-beded bays. We are a mixed cardiac ward and specialise in adult congenital heart disease.

We have a number of specialist nurses, including tissue viability, arrhythmia, heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, cardiac rehab, adult congenital heart disease and valve nurses.

Ward rounds are carried out first thing in the morning and then an individual care plan is made. We encourage patients to be involved in discharge planning as soon as possible.

All patients have access to telephone via their beds, there is also a day room for patients with a TV. 

Visiting hours are between 2pm and 8pm.

Feedback on the ward

Please have a look at the comment cards below for some recent feedback from our patients.

Friends and family test

Patients maybe asked some simple questions about their stay to identify if they would recommend a particular ward to their friends and family. The results of this friends and family test are used to improve the experience of patients by providing timely feedback alongside other sources of patient feedback.
