The rooftop board points up for the Accident and Emergency Unit and left for hospital reception, reached across the open parking area.
From the road the block reads Life The Glynnwood Medical Suites, and a triangular sign on the pavement warns of car theft.
Glazed doors decorated with teddy bears line one side of the corridor, with a nurses counter and monitoring trolleys on the other.
Rows of green shade ports fill the parking area between the street and the domed entrance canopy at the main block.
A counter marked Porters Duty Station sits just inside the glazed sliding doors, so help with a wheelchair is close at hand.
The helipad sits on a low roof above the street corner, edged with safety netting on all four sides.

The Glynnwood publishes different times for almost every ward, so getting the ward name before you leave home matters more here than anywhere else on this site. Times range from 13:30 on the fourth-floor high care to 15:00 in orthopaedics, and the intensive care hours are to be kept strictly unless the doctor says otherwise. Neonatal ICU opens to parents five times a day with kangaroo care from 12:00 to 14:00, and grandparents only on Saturday afternoons. Two visitors per patient, nobody under 12, and no visiting during doctors' rounds or handover.
