Visiting
Visiting times on the ward are:
For more information on visiting please visit the visitors page. Visiting outside of the main visiting times must be agreed with the nurse in charge.
Please note that only two visitors are allowed per bed. However, there may be occasions when this is restricted to one visitor to bed to help prevent the spread of infection.
We also ask visitors to respect that our patients’ mealtimes are protected so that we can help ensure they receive optimum nutritional intake. We therefore ask that visitors do not attend during meal times at 1200 or 1700, so that our nursing staff can ensure the ward environment is conducive to eating and all staff are available to assist those patients who require help to eat their meals.
