Inpatient and outpatient facilities

Inpatient

The CRF’s core opening hours are 08.00 to 20.00 Monday to Thursday and until 18.00 on Fridays, and we are open as required for overnight stays Monday to Thursday. Additional hours including weekends may be arranged where necessary.

The CRF has 13 in-patient beds consisting of 10 standard beds in the male and female wards and three side rooms. The inpatient area offers the following:

• Side rooms available for patients involved in protocols demanding isolation, e.g. gene therapy, virus challenges, sleep studies and radioisotope studies.
• Two negative pressure side rooms to prevent the release of airborne contaminants.
• Gene therapy suite including a lab with a class II microbiological cabinet for preparation of genetically modified organisms.
• Bedside monitoring equipment linked to the central nursing station
• A lounge area for long-stay volunteers.

Outpatient

The CRF has eight outpatient rooms. These offer the following:

• Four consulting rooms
• One consulting room modified to provide cardiopulmonary exercise testing
• Individual temperature adjustment of the consulting rooms
• Four patient monitoring rooms containing two recliners or beds each to allow comfortable space for infusions. The monitoring rooms have flexible partitioning which can allow four subjects per room.
