Using patient bed lifts on move days

November 8, 2024

On Sunday,10 November are the final two patient move days from City Hospital into Midland Met. To ensure we get all patients moved into the hospital smoothly without any delays we will be making some changes to how the bed lifts are used.

Patient bed lifts are located on the east and west sides of the hospital to move patients privately, ensuring their dignity is maintained.

On 10 November, the patient bed lifts will be used as follows:

  • West bed lifts – Usual patient movement.
  • East bed lifts  – Will be used for patients moving into Midland Met from City Hospital.

This means colleagues will be unable to use the bed lifts for casual movement between floors unless it is for the reasons outlined above.

There are five public lift cores A – E or stairs that colleagues can use to navigate the hospital instead on patient move days.
