Starting on 28 June 2024, RNOH will have flexible visiting times for inpatients. There will be no set visiting hours, so up to two visitors can come whenever it is convenient for the patient.

Visitor guidelines

We’d kindly ask that you:

  • Avoid visiting during meal times, sleep/rest times, treatments, or personal care times.
  • Keep noise levels low and respect the privacy of other patients.
  • Step outside of the bay during your visit, if asked to by staff, to protect the confidentiality and dignity of other patients.

The nurse in charge will make the final decision on visiting times to ensure patient needs and overall wellbeing are balanced.

Due to space limitations, we ask that only one person accompanies a patient in the following areas:

  • Day Surgery Unit (adult)
  • Outpatients Department (adult)

If more than one person is needed, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

For patients receiving end-of-life care, we will accommodate visitors at any time to meet their needs and preferences.
