Ground floor facilities

We have 10 outpatient consulting rooms where you can meet your consultant, discuss your symptoms and suitable treatment options.

You may also undergo a procedure in the consultation room or be treated in our minor treatment room, either by your consultant or by one of our nurses, as part of our nurse-led services at the hospital.

Our pre-assessment suite is also located on the ground floor, where you will be assessed before your visit to theatre for your planned procedure. As is the hospital’s CO2 laser which is used in the treatment of a variety of skin problems including basal cell carcinomas, rhinophyma and xanthelasma.

We have two imaging rooms where we can undertake x-ray imaging and ultrasounds. During the week these facilities are supplemented by  access to our off site  CT  service and on site MRI scanner.  With consent, we can also access images taken at other hospitals as this reduces the number of times you are scanned.

We have physiotherapy treatment rooms and a fully equipped gymnasium offering the specialist private physiotherapy treatments including shock wave treatment.

First floor facilities

On the first floor of the Hospital, we have two operating theatres.  Both have ultra-clean ventilation systems which reduces the chances of wound infection during hip, knee and other major orthopaedic surgery.

We have a minor procedures treatment facility which is used for laser varicose vein surgery.

The treatment and theatre services are completed by a theatre recovery area.  We have a sterile services area where equipment used in surgery is cleaned and maintained on site.

We have 28 bedrooms, all en-suite and all with views of the hospital gardens.  Many of our rooms have direct access to our gardens so you and visitors can enjoy the therapeutic environment available at Fairfield.
