Visiting patients

As per our Visitor’s Charter, we operate an open and flexible visiting policy, recognising the important role that family, friends and carers play in supporting recovery. Visitors are encouraged to plan visits considerately and to avoid overcrowding, with a general guideline of no more than two visitors at a time.

If exceptional circumstances apply, please speak to the nurse in charge. Visitors are welcome during mealtimes, particularly if they are helping a loved one to eat. To maintain a calm and respectful environment, we ask that noise is kept to a minimum and that children are supervised at all times.

Please wash your hands on entering and leaving the ward, and do not visit if you are feeling unwell.

Accessibility

The hospital is fully accessible, with step-free access, lifts, and accessible toilets throughout the site. Blue Badge parking is available near main entrances. If you need additional support during your visit, please speak to a member of staff.
