Introduction

Kello Hospital provides beds for acute medical patients, rehabilitation and terminal care.

Medical input to Kello Hospital is provided by the general practitioners (GPs) based in Biggar Health Centre.

Treatment room facilities are available at designated times, although individual arrangements can be made. The hospital also provides a minor accident and emergency service.

NHS Lanarkshire will seek to provide you with high quality health services. You should therefore expect:

To be treated as an individual with courtesy and respect for your cultural and spiritual needs
To have the right of support from a relative, friend, patient advocate or any other individual
To be introduced to everyone providing your care, who will be identified by name, photograph and job title
To have a named nurse or key worker responsible for the planning, implementation and evaluation of your care
To be involved in the planning, evaluation and review of your care and offered informed choices wherever possible
To be guaranteed confidentiality of information relating to your care, in keeping with the Code of Practice ‘Confidentiality of Personal Health Information’
To be invited to comment on our services to help us make improvements to existing and future services
