This area has been designed to provide the useful information for patients, their carers and visitors.
A-Z Services
An easy to use list of our services - linking to pages of information about each service.
Visiting times
The general hospital wards visiting times are between 2.30pm-4.30pm and 6pm until 8pm. This enables the medical and nursing staff to do their patient checks and care duties in the morning and gives the housekeeping teams access to patient bed spaces for cleaning.
- The RD&E has ‘protected patient meal times’ to ensure that our patients have uninterrupted meals and can rest. This is an important part of their recovery.
- Specific wards or clinical areas have their own visiting arrangements, for example for patients in Intensive Care, the Bramble children’s ward, the Centre for Women’s Health maternity and neo natal units and the oncology wards.
- If a relative wants to visit outside the general ward visiting times they should discuss this with the matron or nurse in charge of the ward and agree an arrangement.
- Ward visiting can be restricted further as part of our infection control management, for example when patients on a ward have norovirus (diarrhoea & vomiting) bug or a flu virus. These measures are necessary to prevent a spread of the illness between patients and visitors.
