University Hospital Monklands
Visiting Arrangements
All our inpatient wards have flexible patient centred visiting arrangements to suit the needs of the patients and staff on that particular ward.
All our inpatient wards and units remain busy. To support our staff we are asking that when a patient is admitted they speak to the ward staff on the current visiting arrangements and share this information with their family and friends.
If a patient is admitted and is unable to speak to staff due to their medical condition or capacity, it would be helpful, where possible, if the patient’s family and friends could identify one named individual who can discuss the visiting arrangements with the ward staff and share this information with other family members and loved ones.
We would like to thank our patients and visitors for their ongoing support during what remains an extremely challenging time.
