Normal ward visiting hours are 2pm to 8pm.

Please note that some wards and departments may have exceptions and we advise checking these before visiting.

These may include alternate opening and closing times as well as limitations on visitor numbers.

What you can do for us

We would like to ask for your help in limiting visitors wherever possible to no more than two at a time, and to only bring children who are under 10 years old where really necessary.

Please:

• use the hand gel when entering and leaving the ward
• respect other patients and keep noise to a minimum
• no more than two visitors at the bedside and only bring young children if you really need to
• help us minimise infection – don’t visit if you are unwell, use the chairs and please don’t sit on a patient’s bed
• do not use mobile telephones, cameras etc in patient areas
• only bring in essential items for patients to keep areas clutter free
• do not bring in flowers for patients (but fruit, chocolate and biscuits are fine)
• do not use physical violence, verbal aggression or threatening behaviour towards staff as this will not be tolerated
• your relative or friend may have agreed for you to ask questions about their condition or treatment – if you wish to speak to a member of staff please ask at the start of your visit so this can be arranged.
