Visiting information

Parents are welcome to be with their baby at any time of day – there are no restrictions to when you can come.

Doctor’s ward rounds are held between 9am and 12pm every day, so we encourage you to attend between these hours so that you can get medical updates regarding your baby.  Parents will be asked to bring sound-isolating headphones to wear during ward rounds when other babies are being seen. This is to preserve the confidentiality of each baby’s care. 

If you are not feeling well with fever, cough or cold it is best not to visit until you are feeling better.  You can still get regular updates by calling the unit.

Our visiting policy can change throughout the year; in general we allow other visitors such as grandparents and siblings between 1pm to 7pm. To maintain a quiet environment within the neonatal unit we allow a maximum of three people by the baby’s bedside.  If you are unsure please ask the bedside nurse about our visiting policy.
