Clothes and belongings

In emergencies it may be necessary to cut clothes to allow rapid treatment to begin. This is not done without thought and we hope that you will understand if the clothes are not in good condition when returned. If requested, items can be disposed of by hospital staff.

As requested by the police all items of jewellery will be removed by the Emergency Department staff. All valuable items will be recorded and handed back to you or may be stored in the General Office, located on the Trust Headquarters corridor on the first floor at Leighton Hospital.

We ask that you telephone the General Office on 01270 612307 before coming into the hospital. This should avoid delays and inconvenience. Open Monday to Friday 8.30am - 4.45pm excluding bank holidays.
