Fire Alarms / Emergency Evacuations
If there is a fire alarm or other alarm, hospital staff trained to respond to emergency situations will guide patients. When you first arrive in your ward, please look on the ward evacuation plan for your fire exit route. If you are unsure of the route you have to take, please ask ward staff.
The Fire Alarm is a “beep, beep, beep” sound and an orange flashing light on the ceiling. The Evacuation Alarm is a siren sound and / or a red flashing light on the ceiling. Staff will tell you what to do in an emergency. Please follow their instructions closely.
Infection Control
Infection Control issues are important in our hospital. Hand washing, high standards of house keeping, and the use of sterile techniques and equipment help to ensure your speedy recovery and to reduce the risk of infection. However, patients can also help to reduce the risk of infection to themselves and to other patients.
The following are some tips to help:
Leaving the Ward
If an inpatient wishes to leave the ward, they must tell nursing staff where they are going and for how long.
