PAEDIATRIC WARD
MATERNITY WARD
Father/supporting partner may visit mom; 08:00am – 10:00pm.
No other visitors are allowed.
Visiting someone in hospital plays a vital part in helping them to recover. We encourage you to visit your family and friends but ask you to follow some simple rules to reduce the infection risks to patients and aid their recovery.
To help us minimise the spread of infection, we ask that a maximum of two people visit a patient at any one time. If for any reason you would like more than two people to visit at a time, you must arrange this in advance with the Unit Manager.
Please arrange with friends and family to take turns if necessary. Do not feel that you must stay for all of the visiting time. Sometimes a quick visit and chat is all that is needed and it ensures that the patient can have enough time to rest and recover.
Children under 12 years are not allowed in the adult wards due to risk of infection and must be supervised by an adult at all times within the hospital.
