Visiting
Visiting hours are 2.00pm to 8.00pm, unless arranged ahead of time with nursing staff.
We encourage friends and whānau to visit patients because it helps them get better. Sometimes staff will ask you not to visit because the patient is resting, in treatment, or too unwell. Staff will let you know if this is the case, and will tell you when you can visit again. You may still be able to phone.
For the safety of all patients, visitors and staff, please think carefully about what you bring to the unit, or ask a nurse if you are unsure. Knives, medication, drugs and alcohol are all banned.
Visitors under 16 years old must have a responsible adult with them.
