To support loved ones and carers of country patients who may require accommodation, each general inpatient room at the RAH is fitted with a day bed allowing a relative or carer to stay overnight when it is in the patient’s best interests.
Access to the day bed must be approved by the senior nursing staff on each ward as there may be times when access to this bed is not possible. Linen packs, including sheets and a pillow for use on the day bed are available for hire.
If the day bed is not available or suitable, search the following accommodation sites for nearby alternatives:
