Our solar battery bank now carries the wards at night.
9 Sep 2026
Since September, the wards in Avenor Tower run on stored solar power from 10pm to 6am on most nights. The gas generators stay ready and switch in automatically within a second if the batteries run low.
For patients it means a quieter night, with no generator hum outside the windows. For theatres and the special care baby unit it means an extra layer of backup that does not depend on fuel deliveries.
Clinics
A Saturday diabetes and heart clinic.
2 Sep 2026
From November, the joint diabetes and heart clinic also runs on the first and third Saturday of each month. You see a family doctor, a cardiologist, the eye clinic and a dietitian in one morning, with blood tests done on arrival.
Book through the usual booking page and choose Family medicine, then mention the Saturday clinic in your notes.
HMOs
HMO checks before you arrive.
20 Aug 2026
When you book online and tell us your HMO, the HMO desk now checks your cover the day before your visit. If anything needs pre-authorisation, we ask for it in advance and tell you on WhatsApp.
Children

4 Aug 2026
