"A visitor experience"

We visited a past work colleague who was recuperating after surgery in Leicester.

Finding the hospital is not difficult, it is reasonably well signposted within Oakham, but we were surprised that it was not identified on our generally well-up-to-date on-board GPS. So, if you are unfamiliar with the area we suggest that you make sure that you enter the Post Code in your GPS and keep a good lookout for the entrance to the car park (the hospital is screened by trees and is not a tower block!).

We had no information re where our colleague was located within the hospital. A name was sufficient at Reception to readily elicit some directions, and this was subsequently repeated with another member of staff as we homed in on our destination. Conclusion – the staff know the patients.

Everything we saw during our visit was fine. The car parking arrangements are an added bonus; the polar opposite of many hospitals.
