Moving to the new Royal

Our outpatient departments will be one of the first services to move into the new Royal.

From Tuesday 4 October, the new outpatient department will be operational, and patients will be notified in their appointment letters which clinic they should attend.

Staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist with any queries or wayfinding.

Outpatient clinics are a very important part of the services provided at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals. We see many thousands of outpatients every year from Merseyside, Cheshire and beyond and our aim is to provide you with the best possible care. In order to assist us in doing this, please help us by letting us know if you are unable to attend your outpatient appointment. You can do this easily online here

What to bring with you to your appointment

Staff at the hospital will already have details about your condition, but please bring the following with you:

  • Your appointment card or appointment letter
  • Your personal details, such as your address, full postcode and a contact number
  • Your home address, if this is different from where you currently live
  • Your GP's address and telephone number
  • Details of any medicines or tablets you are taking (if possible please bring them in their original containers)
  • Proof of exemption from payment of prescription charges, where applicable
  • You may also be required to bring a specimen of urine (in a clean container) but you will be informed of this in the letter/appointment card

Our appointment letters have a ‘registration information’ section which you should fill in and give to the clinic receptionist when you attend your appointment. This will ensure we have your personal details up to date
