Queen Mary's Hospital












Photos of Queen Mary's Hospital




This is a very new hospital that has been open now for a while, it has no A&E department it does have a Minor Injury's Department. It is very accessible for wheelchairs , Scooters etc because it has automatic doors into the building from the upper and lower levels.




They have a large carpark that has 12 disabled bays, also there is a drop of point down a slope to the lower level (see first photo) and there are 4 disabled spaces there but they are full most of the time.




Queen Mary's Hospital is where Duglas Badar came to to have his Artificial lims put on and he then used the walking school, at Queen Mary's Hospital they still carry on with that work by having a charity called "The Limbless Association"
