The hospital open day starts at 10am and runs to 4pm and will include trying your hand at surgery, learning about skin cancer, seeing how we use the latest hi-tech equipment to zap cancers, seeing a typical ward, learning about hand hygiene, sampling hospital food, and there will also be a Well Teddy clinic for children.

The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital opened nearly four years ago and the open day is a chance for people to find out more about the region's busiest acute hospital. Car parking will be free on the day.
