Lowestoft Hospital
I noticed today that the Hospital is being "fenced" in. Haven't heard anything about this but - I'm not usually up-to-date on such things!

Re: Lowestoft Hospital
A new prison, maybe?
Is that the complete hospital Trigger? If so I wonder where the phlebotomy department has gone.

Re: Lowestoft Hospital
Only two sides: Alexandra Road and, from there - Milton Road East to Physio Building. As this has only just been put up - I would think that everything's the same - at the moment. Will toddle around in the morning to see if I can find out any more.boatbuilder wrote:Is that the complete hospital Trigger? If so I wonder where the phlebotomy department has gone.

Re: Lowestoft Hospital
Thanks Trigger. Although don't need the phlebotomy department at the moment, we were there about 10 days ago and saw no notices about any changes and there was no other indication anything was likely to be changing either.

Re: Lowestoft Hospital
I think that this was a sudden decision due to a burst water main.

I decided to wait for the Journal - who've done a much better report than I could do.boatbuilder wrote:Thanks Meryl. Was still waiting for Trigger to report back.
Burst water main forces final services to leave town’s hospital
The last two out-patient services based at Lowestoft Hospital will move out next month after a burst water main has rendered the site unsuitable.
From December 5, the phlebotomy blood testing service, which was based in one of the old hospital buildings, will be offered from three sites. One will be in Kirkley Care Centre in the south of the town and two will be in north Lowestoft.
The community dental service, which was provided from a mobile dental surgery parked on the old hospital site off Tennyson Road, will temporarily be running from the Newberry Clinic in Gorleston and the James Paget University Hospital until an alternative site can be found.
Graham Wilde, acting chief operating officer for the James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH), said: “We appreciate that the services are being moved at short notice but the condition of the buildings at the old hospital site has given us no option. However, patients can be reassured that they will be seen, albeit at different sites, and there will be no disruption to either service.”

Re: Lowestoft Hospital
Thanks for posting that, Trigger. I am assuming Kirkley Care Centre to be the Kirkley Mill Health Centre.
I thought it might be worth posting the text regarding the appointments here:

Belated thanks to BB for posting details of where and when the "service" changes - as I guess I'll be having a few more!

Re: Lowestoft Hospital
I spent all Christmas of 1967 in there with a burst appendix, was 14 at the time. Just me and a baby in the children's ward. I got lots of attention and I think it was at that time that my unhealthy interest in nurses developed.
It's grim up North...
