Who can visit?

We know that the presence of family and friends is helpful for recvoery so they are encouraged to visit.

Children can sometimes find hospitals daunting.  When visiting the hospital we ask that children be supervised by an adult at all times.

Unwell Visitors

To help prevent the spread of infection it is very important that people do not visit the hospital if they have an infectious illness such as chicken pox, a coldsore, flu, parvovirus (slapped cheek), a stomach upset, bad cough or cold. These infections can be easily spread and some are particularly dangerous to pregnant women and newborn babies. Unfortunately, if the brothers and sisters of your newborn baby have any of these infections they must not visit you while you are in hospital.
