You can find relevant information of visiting and attending our Royal Surrey County Hospital, as well as our community sites in this section.
Our staff will be following the Hands, Face, Space guidance, and we ask that you do too. As such, please ensure you wear a mask when you come to the hospital - if you do not have a mask, then one will be provided when you arrive. If you are an inpatient, then staff will provide you with masks to wear during your stay. All patients (inpatients and outpatients) must wear masks at all times while in hospital, unless they have been risk assessed as unable to wear one.
All of our staff will be wearing the relevant level of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) depending on where you are in the hospital, and whether you are an outpatient or inpatient. If you do not think that they are wearing correct PPE or following the guidelines, please speak to them.

We know this is a difficult time for relatives who are unable to visit patients so we are doing everything we can to help you stay connected with your loved ones while they are in our care.
You can find out how you can stay in touch with your loved ones, including a Virtual Visit, on our Message to a Loved One page.
Our property drop off service allows family and friends to bring in personal items for relatives at Royal Surrey County Hospital and is currently available from 9am to 12noon, and 1pm to 3pm, Monday to Saturday.
There is a booking line for appointments for our main hospital, which is available 8am to 12noon, and 1pm to 3pm (Monday to Friday) 0900-1200noon (Saturday’s), with an answerphone for outside of these times.
Only one appointment will be offered per week, for those unable to visit (exceptional circumstances considered). If your friend or family member is able to visit please ensure property exchange is completed during these visits, not through this service. Please do not bring in large or bulky items as items will need to fit in to a bedside locker. Large suitcases and bags will not be accepted, nor will other large items such as blankets or pillows.
Please do not arrive at this service without a booked appointment to allow a safe service provision. Further guidance on items permitted and the process for dropping off property will be provided when you speak to the call operator. To call the line, the number is 07979540102.
For patients in Milford Hospital or Haslemere Hospital please contact the wards directly.
