BREAKING NEWS ** The fab new £15 million Accident & Emergency department at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary opens at 00:01 this Wednesday 22nd May **
The new A&E is a much-needed replacement for the existing department, which dates back to the 1960s. It is in a brand-new location on South Drive, easily accessed from Acre Street with parking for cars and ambulances.
The new A&E at HRI is almost twice the size of the current department, and has much-improved facilities, including:
- a larger resuscitation area with four private bays
- a dedicated children’s waiting area
- treatment rooms with sliding glass doors to improve privacy and dignity
- two state-of-the-art x-ray rooms
- a sensitively-located bereavement suite for families.
