Visitors welcome

We positively encourage our patients to invite friends and relatives to visit them in hospital. Visiting hours vary, but all wards are open to visitors between 4pm-8pm.

Overnight accommodation is available for the relatives of patients being admitted to hospital or for patients who attend the hospital for regular treatment. We can also provide facilities for patients who have to travel a long way to attend hospital for complex investigations or treatment, but who do not need to be readmitted to a ward. If you are attending hospital, please ask a member of staff for details.

Support while you are here
