The support of family and friends is an important part of the recovery process, and we welcome visitors during designated visitor hours.

Or are you feeling unwell with:

If you answered yes to any of these, then please DO NOT visit patients in the hospital. Most people in hospital will have a depleted immunity and are vulnerable to illness.

Hospitals can present hazards to children, so we request that children be supervised by an adult at all times, and are not permitted to roam freely around the hospital

There are lounge areas that visitors can use in all clinical areas.
