St. John’s Hospital CEO’s timely appeal to public to redouble its efforts to halt pandemic again

If you have received a provisional admission date, you should phone the Admissions Officer on 061–462104 after 10.00 a.m. on the morning of admission to check that there is a bed available. As we assist University Hospital Limerick Accident & Emergency service, this sometimes means that beds allocated for non-emergency treatment have to be given to emergency admissions. Bed cancellations are therefore unavoidable and unpredictable. In the event of your admission being cancelled, you will be given a new provisional admission date.

If your bed is confirmed, you will be required to check in at 2.00 pm, unless otherwise informed. On arrival you should go to the Reception desk in the main entrance hall, where you will be directed to the Admissions Office for registration

Sometimes patients on a waiting list may receive short notice of an offer of admission. In such circumstances, you will receive a telephone call in the morning with an offer of a bed for that afternoon.
