In order to admit you as an inpatient we need some personal details. You may register in person at the Central Patient Admissions Office or give written authority to someone to do this for you. The Patient Admissions Office is located in the Administration Building, close to the Information Office. It is open on Monday and Tuesday from 07:30 to 16:00 hrs, on Wednesday and Thursday from 07:30 to 15:30 hrs, and on Friday from 07:30 to 15:00 hrs. If you arrive with us outside office opening hours, say at the weekend or on a public holiday, please register directly on your ward.

Patients at Operations Centre II may register directly at the centre's own Patient Admissions Office. This may be found in the entrance foyer and is open on Monday to Wednesday from 07:30 to 12:30 hrs and on Thursday from 07:30 to 12:00 hrs. Outside these hours, please contact our Central Patient Admissions Office in the Administration Building.

Patients at the West German Heart Centre in Essen may also register in the building's entrance foyer. The desk is open throughout the day.
