Each of our wards and departments has a lead matron who can be responsible for a number of wards or departments that provide a similar service. If you have any suggestions or concerns about a ward or department that you feel have not been addressed by the sister or senior nurse from that area, please contact the matron.
Our matrons help us by:
- Improving and maintaining high quality patient care
- Improving clinical care
- Making sure patients are cared for in clean surroundings
- Making sure all patients are treated with dignity and respect
- Ensuring the smooth running of the hospital by supporting patients, the public and staff
How do I identify matrons?
Our matrons are easy to identify; they wear red tunics and navy trousers. If you can’t find a matron ask a member of staff to contact them for you.
