Visiting hours

The Centre offers open visiting however, it would be a great help to our staff if your visitors could come to see you between 2pm and 8pm.

Numbers of visitors

To help you get as much rest as possible we do limit the number of visitors to two for each patient at any given time, and kindly ask that all children are supervised at all times.

Making contact

We realise that family and friends want to contact the hospital directly for news of your progress however, we do ask that one relative or friend is nominated as the contact for you. This way, nurses can spend their time caring for as many patients as possible.
