Our Wards
Kingsbridge Private Hospital has two main admissions areas: Day Ward and Inpatient Wards.
The Day Ward consists of 5 private day beds and a recovery lounge. The Day Ward is a private, comfortable, and safe environment for your admission and recovery care. The Nursing Team are always present in the Day Ward and your private bed area has a nurse call system to allow you to alert a nurse at any time.
There are 3 Inpatient Wards, each ward has individual single patient rooms. Each room has en-suite facilities, television and free WI-FI for your comfort. A nurse call system is installed in each room for your safety, always providing immediate contact with the nursing staff.
After Arrival
After arriving at Reception, a member of the Nursing Team will meet with you and show you to your admission area. You may be cared for in either Day Ward or one of the 3 Inpatient Wards depending on the type of procedure you are undergoing.
The admission process includes a nursing assessment, measurement and recording of vital signs, blood tests and any other investigation tailored to your needs.
The Consultant Surgeon and Consultant Anaesthetist (if you are having an anaesthetic) will discuss the surgery and anaesthetic with you, outlining risks and benefits and answering any questions you may have. This is called the consent process and your written consent is required following these discussions before going for your procedure or surgery. Please take the opportunity to ask questions and have any queries you may have addressed.
A Resident Doctor is present in the hospital 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Your Consultant Surgeon will consult with you at least daily during your stay and are always contactable through the Nursing Staff and Resident Doctor. If you are having a general anaesthetic, your Consultant Anaesthetist will consult with you as needed during your stay.
The clinical team will tailor your care and treatment to your individual needs, and we would encourage you to actively engage with the team about your care needs.
