After surgery, patients can recover in our post-operation lounge in reclining chairs or trolleys until they are ready to be discharged and go home. Of course our team will be on hand to keep an eye on you during your recovery and answer any questions you have. If you do need to spend the night in hospital, we’ll admit you to one of our other inpatient wards.

Open visiting on all wards is between 10am and 8pm, 7 days a week

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

• Do not disturb nurses during medicine rounds
• When asked to leave a bay or room, please respect our request
