BHB Public Advisory: Emergency Department temporarily changes vehicular drop-off point

Friday 5 September 2025: Starting on Monday 8 September 2025 the vehicular drop-off point to the Emergency Department at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital will be the Acute Care Wing main entrance. Ambulances will be using what is normally the public entrance to Emergency. This temporary change is to facilitate necessary physical upgrades to the Emergency Department.

Clear signage and traffic cones will be in place to guide vehicles and delineate parking zones. Security personnel will be stationed on-site to assist with traffic flow and ensure minimal disruption. Please adhere to their directions.

This change will be in place for one week. By Monday 15 September the drop-of points will revert to normal.
