We operate an open visiting policy across our hospitals. This means that up to two visitors at a time are welcome to visit patients between 10am and 10pm, seven days a week.

Please note that this policy applies to all adult acute inpatient areas. Separate visiting guidance remains in place in paediatrics, maternity, critical care and high dependency units so please check with the staff in these areas before you visit these areas.

All visitors should follow our safety measures when visiting our hospitals, including regular hand washing and the use of hand sanitiser.

If you’ve had symptoms of Norovirus (diarrhoea and vomiting), please wait at least 72 hours after your symptoms have passed before you visit our wards, to prevent the spread of the virus.
