While you are in hospitalWhen you arrive When you arrive at the hospital, your nurse will collect information from you or your family to help us determine the most appropriate treatment during your stay. Your nurse can answer any questions you or your family may have, so don't hesitate to ask questions or tell us how you feel at any time. Your doctor will also let you know when you can expect to be discharged, so you can plan any ongoing care that may be required when you get home. Please advise your nurse if you would like a specific person to discuss your condition with medical staff. Information is generally only given to your next-of-kin unless you advise otherwise. To help us provide the highest level of care to patients, please ask other relatives and friends to contact your next-of-kin or support person rather than approaching staff directly. Interpreter Services During your stay
During your stay, you may have regular meetings with a number of doctors, nurses and allied health staff such as social workers, occupational therapists and pharmacists. Although meeting so many people can be confusing, rest assured your health care team will work together to provide you with the best quality care possible. Medications
