As part of a review of visiting times within our maternity service we have taken the decision stop overnight visiting on Maternity Base.
The change will take affect from Monday 17th March 2025 and will be replaced with ‘visiting’ between the hours of 08.00hrs – 23.00hrs.
If a woman births during the night her partner will be allowed to accompany her to Maternity Base to help settle mum and baby, this will be for 1 hour. It will be at the discretion of the ward manager on shift to allow partners to stay overnight in exceptional circumstances.
This change is only applicable to Maternity Base, this does not include the Midwifery Led Unit, Induction of Labour Suite or Delivery Suite.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
