Bristol
Royal Infirmary is open for medical emergencies 24 hours a
day and accessed through the emergency department or direct
referral.
Our inpatient hepatology service for
Bristol is on Ward A900 at Bristol Royal Infirmary, which is a
mixed specialty ward for liver and luminal
gastroenterology patients. Ward
A900 is a 24 bedded ward that is normally roughly half hepatology
patients. There are 11 cubicles which are individual rooms
with ensuite bathrooms, as well as capacity for 4 high-care
beds for patients who are very unwell and require closer
monitoring, a procedure room that is used for day case paracentesis
and GI bleeds, and a family room. There is an emergency endoscopy
service 7 days a week with a range of highly specialised
procedures.
If there are any issues whilst you or a loved
one is an inpatient, please speak with the nurse in charge on the
ward. We greatly value patient, carer and family
feedback regarding care received on the
ward.
For inpatient enquiries, please contact
the A900 ward clerk on 0117 3427181. Visiting hours are
between 11am and 7pm.
At Bristol Royal Infirmary the
hepatology medical team offer an in-reach service on weekdays where
a senior doctor will come and assess hepatology inpatients in the
Acute Medical Unit to provide specialist advice early
into the admission and aid a quick transfer to Ward
A900.
We also provide an inpatient
Alcohol Nurse Specialist service to inpatients. Alcohol causes a
wide range of serious conditions and the Alcohol Specialist Nurse
team provide specialist intervention to alcohol dependent
patients to safely detox from alcohol.
