re Luton and Dunstable

[dreamofbeingslim]

For those of you that have had surgery at Luton and Dunstable, is the HDU and ward 22 in the surgical block or in the main part of the hospital. Thank you.

hi, i was in both these wards.
as you walk in at the main entrance, down that little road where the ambulances park, it's the tall building on the left. i dont know what floor either of them was on but i do remember it was quite high up.
good luck sue.
