For out-of-hours media enquiries, please call our switchboards and ask for the on-call manager.
Condition checks – Requests for patient condition checks should be made through the communications office (or on-call manager out-of-hours) and will only be carried out if the patient’s full name and date of birth are given. No information will be given out without the patient’s permission.
Permission to film or take photographs – If you would like to film or take photographs at our hospitals you must obtain permission from the Trust's communications team. Anyone who is found filming or taking photographs at our hospitals without permission will be asked to leave immediately, and footage and photographs may be confiscated.
