Visiting times - maternity service

Visiting times on Burley and Lyndhurst wards and Broadlands (postnatally) are from 9am to 9pm, with the following restrictions:

  • No more than three visitors at the bedside at one time.
  • Siblings can visit with no age restriction.
  • Children (who are not siblings) over the age of three can visit.
  • We are sorry but we do not permit flowers and latex balloons on the ward for the safety of our mothers/birthing people and babies. Foil balloons are fine.

As always visitors should not attend any health care settings if they are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, other respiratory viruses or symptoms of diarrhoea or vomiting.

Visiting guidance is subject to change.

Quiet hours

In addition to the visiting hours above, one birth partner or support person is welcome to visit to offer support during our quiet hours from 7.30am to 9am, and from 9pm to 11pm. This is a designated quiet time in the bay, where we ask for voices to be kept low to allow all birthing people to rest.
