What do I need to know about visiting patients in Eginitio hospital?
- Visiting patients in hospital is beneficial to their wellbeing, so we encourage visitors but for the comfort of all patients, please limit your visits to visiting hours only.
- Visits should be short and the number of visitors per patient should not exceed two.
- Only two people are allowed by the bedside at a time.
- It's best not to sit on the patient's bed, as this can spread germs. Use the chairs provided.
- Always clean your hands using soap and water or alcohol hand rubs. Do this when you enter or leave a patient's room or other areas of the hospital.
- Do not touch the patient's wounds or any medical equipment they're attached to, such as drips or catheters. This can cause infections.
- Do not use the patients' toilets. Use the hospital's public toilets.
- If you have a cough, cold, diarrhoea, vomiting or any other infectious condition, contact the ward for advice before visiting.
- Gifts of food and drink are not allowed. While these gifts may seem thoughtful, it’s usually better for the patient if you don’t bring them.
- Bringing or sending flowers on the wards or other clinical areas is not allowed
- Don't take young children to visit unless it's absolutely necessary. Even then, check with the hospital before you take a child with you.
- Smoking is not permitted anywhere on hospital grounds.
