Patients are being advised to plan in advance how they travel to Southmead Hospital and allow more travel time to cope with road closures over the next 4 weeks.

From 20 May to 8 June, contractors will be carrying out work on Dorian Way which will affect how staff, patients and the public can access Maternity Buildings, the Emergency Department, and Gloucester House.

Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout, but drivers will need to be aware of the schedule of diversions.

Our emergency department is very busy. If you have a minor illness or injury please consider other healthcare services that may be better suited to your need.

Find out about the range of healthcare options available to you including NHS 111, GP out-of-hours and your local pharmacy.
