DC Hannah Milburn, CID South, said:
"As well as suffering from the physical assault, the victim was very shaken by this incident. A person's home is meant to be a safe place and this offender has violated that.
We'd really like to hear from anyone who may have seen a person acting suspciously in the hospital grounds around that time - or earlier in the evening - or anyone who may have had an active dash cam and happened to be in the hospital grounds or nearby. There could be some vital information caught on film that could help with our investigation.
I would also urge people to ensure that their homes are properly secured and all doors locked - even if they are home - to stop opportunist offenders."
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 and quote crime reference 54200118043 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
