Lowen Ward

We work alongside community partners and community nurses to provide seamless care between the acute and community settings. The staff are happy to meet with patients and relatives at any time (in line with current visiting restrictions) but we do advise booking an appointment to make sure the right person is available. We also suggest that one person is nominated to call the ward for updates and act as the patient’s single point of contact.

Ward facilities

The ward has access to Wi-Fi. Laptops and mobiles are allowed (if users are respectful of other patients – it’s a good idea to bring headphones).

We have several side rooms that have their own TV and fridge/freezer.

Visiting Lowen Ward

Open visiting on all wards is between 10am and 8pm, 7 days a week (Please see visiting restrictions)

Visiting outside these times can be discussed with the nurse or midwife in charge. See our Visiting Policy.

Top Tips

• Please introduce yourself and tell us who you are visiting
