Visiting Times
In most wards, visiting times are from 8am to 10pm. However, there may be times when you will be asked to leave the ward. This include when staff need to provide personal care; when staff need to treat or speak to patients in private; if patients need to leave the ward for tests; or if visitors’ behaviour disrupts other patients or staff. Please check with the ward before making planning your visit.
