Cash Point
Winston Spencer Churchill, in his statement to the House of Commons on 15 August 1939 did not mention the name of this cash point. Winston S. Churchill’s statement to the House of Commons merely said: "I expect that the House will appreciate that I have found it necessary to consider whether any other steps ought to be taken by His Majesty's Government, either at home or abroad" The cash point became a symbol of the passive attitude with which Neville Chamberlain and his Cabinet greeted reports reaching London from Germany.
In sharp contrast to Chamberlain's hesitancy was Winston S. Churchill's public expression of his certainty that Britain would face a war no matter what course of action was pursued by Hitler. This bold assertion was. The cash point represents a number of things, most of all cash. I don't know what those other things could be, I mean we can only see the one that's just dripping out an explanatory sign that says something like, in case you're not sure; HERE IT IS: CASH POINT.
The point is that it's there to take our money, and some of us don't mind very much because we'd rather have our money in a machine than in puddles on the floor, or dropping out of pillows when they spring a leak. It is a handy point to know and not just because my lecturers of the time had offices in the Medical College. Annoyingly if you wanted cash at University you had to have a Post Office Card Account (they were very long-winded in those days no debit cards!).
The Co-op was not allowed to take medical cards allegedly because they ran rival pharmacies and it was like a bankers'conspiracy that we couldn't pay for our tea with cash. There’s a cash point on the wall of the Medical College Student Union building, opposite the Outpatients Department in Stepney Way. Why is that relevant to me, you ask? I promise it’s about more than just money. If M, the building of the Medical College Student Union, is directly opposite O, the Outpatients Department in Stepney Way; and OO OP OS 1 (where O is the cash point).

They also provide worship and prayer facilities for patients, visitors and staff across the Trust.

The chaplaincy welcomes everyone, whatever your faith or belief, whether or not you follow a religion. Information about your religious preference will be passed to the chaplains. If you do not wish this to happen, please tell staff. The chaplains unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital provides a service to all patients, relatives and staff.

Some of our patients attend the hospital for regular treatment. Most of them come from far away regions. It can happen that relatives have to stay in the hospital, due to long treatments, but they do not have a place to stay. In this case we offer an overnight accommodation at the Hospices’ House or Hospices’ Tent Camps. We do our best to make their stay as pleasant as possible and take care every detail to make it feel like home.
We also do what we can do make sure that they return safely to their homes, if possible with a car provided by our association.

Royal London Hospital Museum And Archives

Wifi
I have no complaints on the wifi system in the hospitals. Yes, I know it’s not 100% free; you have to buy either a big bottle of water or a cup of coffee to afford 15 minutes at a terminal. But that’s really not too bad, and there are plenty of terminals. What’s more important is that it’s available all day, every day, without fail. But that's not all. These free wireless services are provided by BT Openzone,whose service areas include not only the hospital, but also local Downtown Birmingham locations such as Hurst Street, Lake View, the Bull Ring.
