Your care
Your consultant
and a qualified nurse will be responsible for your care.
Royal Bournemouth is a teaching hospital, so medical students will be with your consultant.

If you have booked your travel through the Travel Office, the hospital will contact us and arrange your travel home.
If you have booked travel on your own, you will need to make your own arrangements to get back to Jersey.
