Waiting in the Emergency Department at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital
We are sorry that you may be kept waiting on occasions during your visit. You may have to wait in a corridor until a cubicle or ward bed is available.
This might be because we are currently experiencing a large number of people needing hospital services. During the time you are waiting a dedicated nurse is available to care for patients in the corridor.
Please make them aware if you:
- are in pain
- would like something to eat or drink
- need help with anything
- are feeling too hot or too cold
If you have any concerns during your wait, please let a member of staff know.
