Addenbrooke’s Hospital provides a comprehensive 24 hour security and traffic
management service to protect people, property and assets. It works closely with our
partners Cambridgeshire Constabulary to ensure a high standard of service delivery at
all times.

      • Do not bring large sums of money, expensive or valuable items with you.
      • Remind ward staff to complete a property form on your admission and
         transfer.
      • Do not leave any valuables or bags unattended or insecure in the
         ward/clinic.
      • Report anything suspicious immediately to a member of staff.

In the interests of your health and safety would you please ensure that you report to
a member of the nursing staff before leaving the ward.

       • Being placed on a contract of standard of behaviour.
       • Exclusion from treatment at this hospital (red card).
       • Prosecution, criminal or civil.
