Health information centre

The health information centre for patients and their families is located next to the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) office, on the ground floor of Grosvenor Wing, near the main entrance of the hospital.

We think it's important for you to understand your condition and treatments as well as find out about services available. This will help you to feel more in control of your health.

You can drop in for information in a variety of formats such as leaflets, videos, audiotapes and interactive CD-ROM. We realise that patients and their families might have special needs or language requirements, so we also aim to provide information in Braille, large print, translated or picture information.
