Monks Park Way

Monk’s Park Way entrance disruption 21st – 24th May

Between Friday 21 May and Monday 24 May, work will be undertaken to install brand new modular operating theatres in the Women & Children’s quarter of the Southmead Hospital site.

While the crane and the modules are arriving on site over this weekend, the Monks Park Avenue entrance to site will be intermittently out of use. To avoid disruption to your journey to our hospital site during this period, please use either the Southmead Road entrance or the Dorian Way entrance, both shown in the map images below.

The image above is a 3D example of how the modules will look, generated by Module Co who have engineered the modules and will be installing them.

Brecon car park will also be closed for the duration of the works, as this is where the crane will be set-up. If you need to drive to our site, please make use of one of the other public car parks.

Access to the COVID-testing marquee just off Monks Park Way will not be affected, so if you need access to this area please attend as usual. Gynaecology outpatients and early pregnancy clinic based in Cotswold Clinic will remain open on Friday 21 and Monday 24 and there is no change to these services.

Cotswold Ward will be moving into the Brunel building from Thursday evening until Monday evening while the new theatres are crane lifted in over the ward. If you are attending the ward for a pre-arranged appointment please go to the Brunel Building Gate 32B.

If you have a gynaecological emergency then you should contact your GP or attend the Emergency Department if needed. If you are under our care for ongoing treatment then please contact us on the usual normal numbers or by clicking here.

Monday 17th May 2021, the day when we all got our freedom back. The freedom to leave our homes, hug our mums and enjoy dinner and a pint inside a pub or restaurant. The excitement and anticipation of this event is quite a strange thing to comprehend. It is an activity we’ve all enjoyed at great leisure for many many years. But at the beginning of the year it was taken away from us. Snatched away like a thief in the night, our liberty to go down the local for a swift half was gone! But now happier times are upon us. Once again we can do those things that we enjoyed.

I’m looking forward to getting back into St Nicks Market on Corn Street to taste some of the amazing dishes from around the world they have there. Or walking around the docks and enjoying a glass of West Country Cider and a slice of pizza at The Bristol Stable. Perhaps taking a walk up Gloucester Road and diving into the Caribbean Croft for a cheeky basket of their excellent jerk chicken wings? The possibilities are now endless. I think we now really have to take stock and treasure what we have in Bristol. As we have seen they can be taken away from us so quickly that we have to try and keep them going for as long as we can? The saying is true. “You never know what you’ve got until it has gone?”

Chain restaurants are fine, but on the whole they will survive. They have the capital behind them to whether out the storm. But for the smaller places they haven’t got that luxury. That’s why I think it’s important to support our local pubs, restaurants and other dining venues so that they do not become ghosts in our high streets. We all need to eat, and we should eat well. So if ohh haven’t already, check out your local restaurant, cafe or pub. Pay them a visit and support their efforts to keep us all going. If dining out isn’t your thing seek out your local food producer and get creative in the kitchen.
