What to Bring with you
If you are visiting as a day case or an inpatient, there are a
number of items you may wish to bring with you.
Check List
- Pyjamas or Night dress
- Dressing Gown and Slippers
- Personal Toiletries (although some will be provided)
- Any medicine you require sufficient for your stay with the
original packaging and labels
If you are staying for a few days or longer you may prefer to

from their favourite toy. Patients undergoing hip or knee surgery
are advised to bring shorts, a loose skirt, trousers or a track

physiotherapy.

What to leave at home
We advise that you do not bring valuables or large sums of
money, if at all possible. Mobile phones are not permitted in the
