Providing a safe environment for everyone

We want to provide a safe environment that promotes health and reduces harm from exposure to second hand smoke. All our sites, including all buildings and grounds are now completely smoke free and there are no designated smoking areas. If you wish to smoke you will need to leave our hospital grounds to do so. 

We know that many pople are giving up smoking by switching to e-cigarettes and vapes. The use of e-cigarettes and vapes are therefore permitted on our grounds as long as it is away from other people.
