You are welcome

We have introduced a Visitors' Code to help make sure that patients spending time in hospital are able to get enough rest, which will help with their recovery. Reducing the numbers of people coming in and out of the hospital and asking them to come at particular times of the day will also help us to control infections and will help staff to do their jobs more efficiently.

At the Northern General Hospital and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital visiting times are strictly between 2pm - 3.30pm and 6 - 8pm.

However in special circumstances, for example if you are travelling long distances to visit, please contact the ward manager in advance to discuss other possible arrangements.

Alternatively, most patient bedsides now have a telephone which can make and receive calls and internet access, which are available 24 hours a day.

Visiting times for Jessop Wing can be found here.

We ask you to avoid bringing children under 12 years old to visit unless permission has been sought from the ward manager. Our patients have told us that they find some visits from children disruptive, however in some cases, where the visit is in the best interest of both the patient and the child, these visits may be allowed.
