PATIENTS and the public will get the opportunity to see what Bradford Royal Infirmary’s new £28m hospital wing will look like during a special event in the city centre next month.

Plans for introducing electronic patient records and the practical changes being made to wards to help patients with dementia will also be on the agenda at the meeting on Tuesday, August 4, starting at 3.30pm at the Bradford Hotel, Hall Ings.
