This advice covers eight areas:
These are served at:
Breakfast: 8.00-8.30am
Lunch: 12.30-1.00pm

All our wards contain separate, single-sex bays and bathrooms.
It is important you fully understand what treatment choices are available to you. Before any treatment, your doctor or nurse will explain it and discuss any concerns you have.
Treatment is carried out only with your written consent. If you are unable to give it, we have procedures that ensure any treatment given is absolutely necessary.
Mobiles should not be used in clinical areas where they could interfere with medical equipment or disturb other patients. Please check with staff before you use yours.
Our rules state that photographs of patients or staff may not be taken inside hospital without their permission, so please do not take any pictures.
Kingston Hospital has a smoke-free policy and smoking is not permitted within the hospital buildings – or grounds. This includes e-cigarettes.
