Guidance for patients and relatives bringing food into hospital

We strongly urge all visitors – in the interest of patient and food safety – not to bring in food to patients as it may pose a risk to their health and treatment plans. The Catering Department will endeavour to tailor the food they provide to meet the patient’s needs and patients are encouraged to discuss any dietary requirements with a dietician, catering officer, catering supervisor or senior nurse.

Additional services

  • Vending machines are located throughout the hospital offering a wide selection of confectionery,  hot and cold drinks.
  • There is a trolley service provided to the wards every day selling a variety of items including newspapers, drinks and confectionery.

  • The chaplaincy and pastoral care service includes a multi-denominational team of chaplains providing spiritual and emotional support as an integral part of total patient care. See times of religious services.
