Bishops Wood Hospital

Bishops Wood Hospital is a 42 bedded acute care unit, built within the grounds of Mount Vernon Hospital. The specialist facilities available at Mount Vernon, combined with the latest in technology and on-site support services, enable our consultants to undertake a wide range of procedures from routine investigations to complex surgery.

All bedrooms at Bishops Wood Hospital offer privacy and the comfort of full en-suite facilities with bath or shower, satellite television and radio. 

This expertise is supported by caring and professional medical staff, with dedicated nursing teams and resident medical officers on duty 24 hours a day, providing care within a friendly and comfortable environment.

Orthopaedics is another area of focus, with specialists available for consultation each day across a full range of musculoskeletal conditions. Our consultants work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, supported by our in-house physiotherapists and imaging department.

There is a varied menu and we can cater for most dietary requirements with a few days notice. Between 9 am and 7:30pm, the chef is available to discuss any special requests, although a few hours notice may be necessary. Visitors are welcome to dine either with the patient they are visiting or in the restaurant. Cold snacks, such as sandwiches, can be ordered at any time of the day or night.

There is of course immediate access to nursing support via a call system. All rooms are supplied with piped oxygen and suction.

Visitors are welcome between 8 am and 10 pm and when appropriate around the clock.

Bishops Wood Hospital does not offer a Paediatric service and any person under the age of 18 is unable to be seen at this hospital.
