Visiting hours and how to find the maternity unit

It is especially requested that persons with coughs, colds or anyone who has been in contact directly or indirectly with infectious diseases, should not visit the department because of the risk of cross infection.

Please do not visit if you are unwell and for 48 hours after diarrhoea or vomiting.

Hand hygiene gel is available at the entrance to each ward and ward bay.

Please take care to supervise children at all times to avoid splashing into the face.

Once you reach us on Level G, there is a secure entry system. Press the buzzer and wait to be admitted.

This is to ensure the safety of newborn babies. Please don’t allow anyone who is not in your group to enter unless permitted by the Reception staff.

 Following the birth of a baby we understand that relatives and friends are keen to visit, but it is so important to have time to adjust to being a parent and also to have rest and support in the first few days, to establish feeding and to feel confident to take your baby home.  These visiting hours allow time for more Parentcraft, Breastfeeding Support and to maintain standards on the wards in relation to cleanliness and reduction of cross-infection.

Use of Mobile phones is not permitted within the Unit.

Responsibility cannot be taken for the loss of any valuable items, money or personal effects brought into hospital.  It is therefore requested that valuables be kept at/or taken home.
