Alle pasientar og besøkande kan bruke gratis trådlaust internett på dei fleste områda på sjukehuset.

Gjest.ihelse.net er eit trådlaust nettverk for besøkande, pasientar og tilsette. Slik koblar du deg til gjestenettet vårt:

  1. Koble deg til det trådlause gjestenettet (gjest.ihelse.net)
  2. Ein nettlesar skal opne seg automatisk. (Om påloggingsvindauget ikkje dukkar opp, forsøk å opne nettlesaren manuelt).​
  3. Trykk "Godta" når du har lest og forstått vilkåra.

Innlogginga skjer automatisk på einingar etter første pålogging, så lenge kontoen er aktiv. Det skal bare være nødvendig å logge seg på éin gong per eining per 31 dagar. 

 
Trøbbel med å kople til trådlaust internett?
Sjukehuset har dessverre dårleg nettverk nokre stader. Du kan derfor ha problem med å få logga deg på nettverket. Vi beklagar dette, og jobbar med å utbetre dette.
 
Har du ein nyare mobiltelefon, og problem med å kople det til trådlaust gjestenett på sjukehuset? Det kan skuldast nettverksinnstillingane på telefonen din. 

​Ordinary hospital visiting hours are between 5:00pm and 8:00pm. 

Most departments are also able to welcome visitors outside these times. We ask that visitors show consideration for other patients by going to the day room, for example.

If the patient is not able to leave the room, we kindly ask for you to arrange in advance with the staff for visits outside the regular visiting hours.

Patients waiting for transport may do so in a designated waiting area in the foyer in the main hospital building (Sentralblokka). The waiting area is designed to make the wait as comfortable as possible for both patients and next-of-kin.

Opening hours
Staffed waiting area Monday to Friday: 08.15–17.00
Telephone:  05515

The waiting area offers reclining chairs, coffee tables with seats, magazines and coffee.

In the daytime the waiting area is staffed by two transport planners from the Department of Patient Travel. The transport planners are not medically trained but can assist you if there are any changes to your planned travel.

  • Patient travel must be booked by the discharging department before the patient arrives in the wai​ting area.
  • The departments are responsible for referring patients to the waiting area based on a medical assessment.
  • Patients who need to wait longer than 2 1/2 hours for their booked travel should do so in their department.
  • The department should make its assessments, including medical assessments, on the basis that the waiting area is not permanently staffed and not staffed by medical personnel.

Patients travelling by air may contact the hosts in the waiting area, who will help organise an airport transfer.

In special circumstances the waiting area may be unmanned for limited periods during opening hours.

  • Patients who require care and who are in the waiting area at ordinary closing time will be referred back to the discharging department. The discharging department will then look after the patient.
  • Patients who have been allocated patient transport after 15.30 and who require care must wait in their department. Those who do not require care may wait at the edge of the waiting area.

All patients and visitors can use free wireless internet in most areas of the hospital.

Gjest.ihelse.net is a wireless network for visitors, patients and staff.
