Talk:Addenbrooke's Hospital

Comments

how many beds does it have?

I know this is petty and useless, but as an Addenbrook (whose father told him that the "e" wss dropped overboard on the Mayflower), seeing any mention of Addenbrook(e) is a fun thing. There aren't many of us around.

May 15th - I have added a photograph on licence by cambridge2000 and removed the stub category due to the expansion of the article. Michael Dart

Considering moving the biomedical campus section into a seperate article.

Internal directory

Surely which ward is where counts as Trivia as far as a general encyclopaedia is concerned and should be removed from the article ?David Ruben ^Talk 22:21, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

addition point/guideline is that Wikipedia is not a directory listings and presumeably this also covers an organisation's internal directory David Ruben ^Talk 22:26, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Internal Directory

After reading suggested articles I came across this sentence:

Don't simply remove such sections; it may be possible to integrate some items into the article in a more organized fashion.

Therefore I feel that the table be restored, and a note left here asking editors to perhaps write a little more about it?

Transport

I was bold and updated the transport section to include a few additional information, such as the Park and Ride links to Addenbrooke's, a new cycle path from Great Shelford, building of a new car park and the new access road. I've also added a Reference section. Hope that's all right since I'm still quite new to Wikipedia editing. C2uk 17:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Looks good to me, corrected the spelling of 'cawley' to 'cowley'. Tiddly Tom 19:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, appreciate it. C2uk 06:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Children's Hospital Plans

Patient confidentiality/whistle blowing controversy

i'm trying to work up a section on patient z, recently featured in the news, who as both a patient and employee (she was a junior doctor) of the hospital recently won a long winded legal action against the hospital. the only source on the internet i can find only shows half the story and is [1] and [2]--Mongreilf (talk) 19:59, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Aborted babies

How relevant is this entire section? It seems like a tabloid style scandal which hasn't really had any lasting effects and is based only on one source. Time to delete? Abc30 (talk) 20:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Car parks (outdated)

The bit about the new multi-storey car park is, presumably, outdated and ref. 5 is a [[Template::dead link]]. I imagine the situation has changed, but though having googled around can't find any detailed info. I wonder if there is deliberate queitism on the part of Addenbrokes about how many spaces are available etc to discourage people from driving. Anyway, I have left it be but wonder if someone more "in the know" (or who manages to search better than me) could update this maybe. At the top it says there are about 3000 spaces then farther down they are getting fewer then there will be a new multi-storey. Well presumably even with over-run that is in place now? So what is the capacity now?

I think also "and disabled parking" needs to be qualified with "extra" or something because it sounds like you can't be both a visitor and disabled, etc!

References

There is a reference (no 6) to an educational website I run which does not really seem to be the correct source for the relevant piece of information, although that page does contain links to various sources of information - for example the FICM link. Should it be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.151.118.130 (talk) 07:10, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Aerial Photograph very outdated

Could we look to getting the aerial site photograph updated please? Several prominent features of the hospital site are not shown and features such as the bus station and newer multistorey car parks are missing. 86.187.167.23 (talk) 21:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
