Relative enquiries

Relatives/friends can enquire about how you are doing during your stay in hospital by contacting the hospital switchboard and asking to be put through to the appropriate ward.

While hospital staff encourage close relatives and friends to ask about patients during their hospital stay, it is best if full information is only given to one close relative or friend whom the patient has chosen.  Other relatives and friends should (were possible) be asked to contact this person for information.

Can a relative stay overnight?

Relatives/friends can visit during specified times during your hospital stay. In selected areas facilities are available for relatives to stay overnight.  Advice can be given by ward staff during your stay.
