Visiting Hours and Information

Visitors are welcome at the Hospital as it is recognised that they play an important role in the provision of support to patients. As the welfare of the patient is a major priority, it is necessary to place restrictions on visiting to enable patients to receive adequate rest.

Visitors are asked to ensure that child visitors, for their own safety, are under the supervision of a responsible person at all times whilst on the Hospital site.

Intensive Care Unit
Visiting is permitted throughout the 24 hours.
However, to maintain patient privacy and confidentiality for all patients, visitors are asked to refrain from visiting during doctors' rounds which are usually conducted between
9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

While a patient is critically ill, we suggest that visiting is restricted to immediate family only.  As the patient's condition improves, visitors may include extended family and friends.  Limited space around the bed area restricts visitors to two at any one time.
