Bridlington Hospital is soon to hold its first ever open day inviting members of the public to find out more about what happens in their local hospital.

The open day will take place on Thursday 23 May 2013 between 12.00pm and 3.00pm and will be situated at the T-Junction of the main corridor.

It has been organised as part of a programme of events across the region so that people can find out more about their local health services since becoming part of York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

The series of ‘Open Health’ events will feature open days at York, Scarborough and Bridlington hospitals and a series of road shows at community hospitals.

For the first time visitors will be able to see what makes the hospital tick and can find out about the role Medicines Management plays in a hospital environment. Yorkshire Ambulance Service will be on hand to talk about their role in the NHS and the hospital’s specialist nurses will be sharing information about their services. Advice on careers in the NHS will also be available.

Janet Mountain, Events Manager, said: "We would really like to give people the chance to see more of specific services within the hospital. It’s also a perfect opportunity for the public to see inside their local hospital and learn more about the services available. We are also welcoming anyone interested in a career in the NHS so they can find out more first hand by speaking to our staff."
