Supported by the very latest technology, equipment and facilities Royston Hospital provides the most comprehensive range of private surgical facilities in the Hawke’s Bay area. Our facilities include:

Operating Theatres

The operating suite comprises 3 theatres, an endoscopy procedure room, modern CSSD and an 8 bed recovery unit fully equipped to meet the requirements of modern surgery. In 2006 a state of the art digital theatre was commissioned to support the Royston Hospital theatre complex.

Day Surgery Unit (DSU)

If you are a day surgery patient, you will be cared for in our day surgery unit.

If your surgery can be carried out on a same day basis, your specialist will admit you through this unit whenever clinically appropriate. The advantage is that it is less disruptive for you. It means you will be absent from your own home or place of work for the minimum time possible. Also, and importantly, it reduces the cost of surgery to you because you do not need to utilise a private room. If it is your personal preference to have a private room even though your surgery does not necessitate this, you should discuss this with your specialist as soon as possible. A room booking can then be made for you.

Patient Rooms

At Royston we endeavour to accommodate our patients in a room suitable to their needs. Overnight patients may choose (subject to availability and appropriate to your operation) a suite, or a private room with ensuite.

Our three suites offer a superior level of comfort. These suites are larger than the normal rooms, each with fridge, tea or coffee making facilities, TV/DVD with Sky, and broadband internet. Suites incur an additional charge over and above our usual room rate, although many medical insurance policies will cover this in whole or in part. Please contact the hospital to seek more information. Patients covered by ACC may elect to pay a surcharge to enjoy the special comfort provided by having a suite.

All patient rooms have TV (Sky), radio and telephone, and complimentary copies of the Dominion Post and Herald on Sunday newspapers are provided. A selection of general-interest and sporting magazines are also available for your reading pleasure during your stay.

A bathrobe will be provided for your use during your stay.

Royston Centre

Cardiologist, Dr Richard Luke has his private practice in the Royston Centre and provides an excellent referral service for patients requiring cardiac review prior to their surgery.

The Royston Centre is also home to the team at Focus Health Physiotherapy and as well as seeing patients privately, they are also happy to provide their services to Royston Hospital inpatients.

Finally, Hawke’s Bay Radiology complement the services available in the Royston Centre. They provide a comprehensive radiology service including general x-ray, mammography, MRI and CT scanning.    

Car parking

An area is available at the front of the hospital for dropping off and picking up patients, and a large car parking area is located opposite the hospital entrance in Prospect Road, with entry from either Southland or Prospect Road.

Please note that Royston accepts no responsibility for car security.

Gardens

Our hospital is set amongst tranquil gardens which you and your visitors are welcome to enjoy.

Smoke-free site
