Large lettering above the covered entrance makes it easy to spot, with paved bays and a marked disabled bay right outside the doors.
The freestanding sign at the turn off lists Life Renal and Life Oncology, with a manned boom gate controlling the entrance just beyond.
From the passing road the illuminated name sign and the lit car park are visible across an open field, with the emergency wing at the far left.
Seen from the road, the white two storey block carries Hilton Health branding, with a no entry sign marking the one way flow at the gate.
The red wing on the left is signed Emergency Unit with an ambulance entrance, while visitor parking fills the bays across the front.
A curved reception counter sits under a double volume ceiling, with soft armchairs to one side and a directory board on the corridor wall.
