Martlets has an inpatient ward to help us care for our patients and their families. The ward, comprising of two wings, has 14 bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and access to outside space. Some people choose to spend their final weeks with us, however most patients can go home once we have their symptoms under control. Our reception desk is the first point of call for all visitors, and we are looking for volunteers to help carry out a range of reception duties ensuring everyone is greeted with a warm welcome.
