Cromer Open Day 2016

Cromer Hospital will be opening its doors to the public from 11am to 4pm on Saturday 8th October 2016.

The open day event is free and will enable visitors to see the Hospital facilities first hand, have the opportunity to find out more about their own health and take part in a variety of activities.

People will be able to try a range of activities such as having a go at a life-size ‘Operation Game’, find out what it’s like to have a plaster cast and use the eye simulation glasses which demonstrate different eye conditions. Many of the activities will be educational and suitable for children. Young children will also have the opportunity to take their teddy bear to the ‘Well Teddy Clinic’ and follow the teddy bear stamp trail.

Iain Young, Cromer Operational Manager said; “We love opening our doors to the public so that people can see what good work goes on at the hospital. It is also a chance to see what happens behind the scenes. There will be something for every family member from activities for the children to enjoy or information for those looking to begin a career in healthcare.”

Visitors can also find out more about blood transfusions, looking after their skin, and find out how good they are at washing their hands by undertaking the ‘Glo and tell’ test.

There will be free entry to the event with no need to book, plus free car parking as well as refreshments available from Norse cafe.

Cromer Hospital will be celebrating 150 years this year with celebration plans to be announced later in the year.
