Visiting Hours


We encourage visiting and the involvement of carers during a patient's stay in hospital. Please remember that other patients may wish to rest or sleep during visiting hours so it is important that all visitors are considerate towards their needs.

There are also restrictions to visiting times. This is to allow patients to have enough rest, recovery time and privacy, to allow doctors and nurses to provide care and treatment to all patients at all times, to enable patients to eat meals without interruptions and to enable cleaning activities to take place in the wards.

Adult wards

2.00 pm until 4.00 pm
6.00 pm until 8.00 pm (Ward B20 and D47 - 6.30 pm until 8.00 pm)

If these times are difficult for you, please speak to the nurse in charge. Please do not feel that you have to stay for the whole of this time.
