Visiting

This page shows the visiting hours to wards at Blackpool Victoria Hospital and Clifton Hospital.

If you are planning to visit someone in hospital but you are feeling unwell yourself with diarrhoea and vomiting and/or respiratory symptoms, please be advised not to visit until you are feeling well again.

If you have a family carer, you may be able to visit this ward flexibly during your stay. Please speak to the ward staff.

During protected mealtimes, visitors are not permitted, unless specifically helping with eating.

• Visitors should not sit on beds, use the patients bathrooms or bring in any flowers. Each of these helps us manage infection risks
• All children must be supervised by an adult visitor and should not crawl on the ward floor
• Any potential hazard such as spills or liquid on the floor, trailing cables or obstacles around the bed should be reported to staff
• Any bed tables or chairs should be returned to their original position before leaving
• Visitors should clean their hands before and after visiting
