If you need help getting to the hospital, there are several community transport schemes that could help. If you receive Income Support or other benefits, you might also be able to reclaim your travel and parking expenses; visit our practical help and advice section for more information.
West Cornwall Hospital has a payphone available in the main reception area.
They can sometimes interfere with medical equipment, so if you are asked to switch them off by one of our staff, please do so straight away.
The Wi-Fi network is called NHS-Wi-Fi. It is an open network and you don’t need a password. To get access, connect to the network in the usual way and a short registration form should pop up automatically. Your device will then stay connected for 24 hours, after which you’ll need to reconnect by filling out the form again.
The League of Friends trolley shop regularly visits the wards.
Don’t forget to ask your doctor or nurse for advise if you’re on a special diet and thinking of using the dining room.
