Prescott Ward

Visitors

Visiting times are: 3pm – 4.30pm and 6pm – 8pm

Two visitors per bed at any one time, please. This is necessary not only because patients may be overtired by more, but space is limited and overcrowding poses a health and safety hazard.

We have a quiet time between 1pm and 3pm so that patients may rest.

Contact us

You and your family will be informed of the best time to telephone for news.
