⚠️ Roadworks on Stadium Road are causing delays around Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
If you're travelling to QEH for an appointment or visit, please allow extra time for your journey. Temporary traffic signals will be in place until 3 September.
Thank you for your patience.
We're pleased to say that this issue has been resolved and our Outpatient Call Centre phone line is back up and running.
Our Outpatients Call Centre hotline (020 8333 3216) is currently down due to an IT outage. We are working to get it up and running again urgently.
We apologise to anyone looking to contact the team about an appointment today and will let you know once it is working again.
