Essential surface repair work will take place in the front car park at University Hospital Wishaw from Saturday 14 to Monday 16 February.

The work has been deliberately scheduled over the weekend and on Monday, when schools are on holiday, to help minimise disruption.

To allow the repairs to be completed as quickly and safely as possible, the work will be carried out on one half of the car park at a time (see image above).

Please allow extra time for your journey, or consider alternative travel arrangements, if you are visiting the hospital.

Thank you for your patience while this essential work is completed.

💬 This week’s comes from a patient who shared their experience of breast cancer care across NHS Lanarkshire.

“Diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2025, I received prompt, excellent care at Wishaw, Monklands and Hairmyres. From diagnosis through surgery and recovery, the staff were kind, professional and reassuring throughout.

Surgery at Wishaw went very well and my recovery has been smooth. I am deeply grateful to Mr Balasubramanian, his team and the NHS for their outstanding care.”
