About N2

N2 is an inpatient side-room facility with 16 beds under the responsibility of the respiratory team and 6 haematology / oncology beds.

How to find us

From the main hospital entrance: Turn right as you enter through the revolving door at the hospital main entrance, turn left and walk past the hairdresser, across the corridor and past ward D2 (on your right). Take the corridor in front of you, signposted F and G wards. Head down the F&G ward corridor on level 2 towards the James Ward. The internal entrance to the N wards is next to the entrance to the James Ward.

The N wards have a main external entrance located on Robinson Way - between the main entrances to the Rosie hospital and the MRIS unit.

If you are likely to be hospitalised for two weeks or more, your visitors can get a discounted parking ticket from the main reception. This allows you to exit from the car parks for 14 consecutive days from the day you validate the ticket.
