The Patient's Admission Form can either be completed online or downloaded, printed and completed by hand and returned to our admissions team by post, fax (fax no 01892 862597) or attached to an email as a scanned image (click here to download). On receipt of your form our admissions team will contact your doctor direct to request medical information as required.

As soon as we have received your form and additional information from your doctor the application will be considered by our Admissions Team, who meet every weekday.  We shall then contact you as soon as possible to discuss your admission with you.

Access to Care Form
We seek to ensure that all those in need of Burrswood’s care are enabled to receive it, regardless of ability to pay.  As a charity, we subsidise the true bed cost, and additionally operate a fund to which individuals who suffer genuine financial hardship may apply for assistance. We welcome adults regardless of age, religion or ethnicity and offer financial support with the cost of care as wisely and fairly as we can.

Fast Track Admissions

For same-day admissions, the referring doctor needs to call 01892 863637 before 2pm and ask to speak to the Duty Physician. Every effort will be made to provide a bed in our hospital that day, when the need for urgent admission is absolute and there is a bed available.
