Changes to visiting times at Southport and Ormskirk Hospitals

SOUTHPORT and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust is changing visiting times to ensure patients can enjoy their lunch without distractions.  Visiting times at Southport and Ormskirk hospitals will now run from 1pm to 8.30pm. This does not include maternity and neonatal wards which have their own visiting times. Visitors who come in to assist patients with meals are still welcome from midday, they are just asked to identify themselves to a member of staff on arrival.

Carol Fowler, Acting Deputy Director of Nursing, said:- "We extended our visiting times last year as we recognised the importance of visitors in aiding patients' recovery.  Nutritious meals also play a large part in recovery and we've noticed some patients becoming distracted at lunchtime and their food was cold by the time they came to eat it, or they weren't eating at all. We hope by adjusting the visiting start time slightly, our patients will see the benefit."

If friends and family find these visiting times are not convenient, they can speak to the nurse in charge of the ward who will be able to help.
