Outpatients
Before your appointment you will receive a letter telling you which hospital or health centre you have to go to. If your appointment is at St George’s Hospital, your letter will tell you which wing you need to go to.
You should receive a map with your letter that will show you the nearest entrance point for the wing or health centre you need to go to. When enter the building you will find more detailed signs directing you around the site. If you are not sure where to go, go to one of the reception desks or ask a member of staff for help.
At St George’s and Queen Mary’s Hospitals there are volunteers who are also available to you find your way. All volunteers wear an identification badge. At St George’s Hospital the volunteers wear burgundy (dark red) blazers, sweatshirts or waistcoats, and at Queen Mary’s Hospital the volunteers wear blue sashes.
