There are two televisions in the waiting area and we also have an electronic notice board with a lot of very valuable information that will be of interest to patients and relatives waiting in the area.
There are Male, Female and wheelchair assessable toilets in the waiting area for patients and relatives.
There are two vending machines located in the waiting area and there is an ATM machine at the front entrance to the department.

3.Relatives Room
At the end of last year we completely refurbished our relatives room which can be used by family and relatives of patients that have passed away or are having treatment for a serious injury or illness. It has been very well received by those that have had reason to use the room and it has provided some comfort for those relatives and family friends that have had to deal with bad news.
4. Interpretation Service
Interpreters can be provided to assist with specific languages/sign languages when needed.
