Welcome to Stepping Hill Hospital
We provide a variety of refreshment facilities, shops, toilets and children's play areas. Visitors to ward areas are asked to respect procedures or specific requests from staff. Visitors are asked to respect our Visiting Times.
A guide to visiting hospital
- It is not advisable to bring babies and young children into ward areas as they are more susceptible to contracting infection.
- Please disinfect your hands and do not sit on the patient’s bed.
- Visiting times are restricted in order to protect meal times, patient’s privacy and dignity, especially when personal hygiene needs are being attended to, and in order to ensure patient rest time.
- Food items which require refrigeration must be brought to the attention of the nurse in charge of the ward, as strict guidelines are in force regarding this practice.
- Cleanliness issues - please report any concerns to the nurse in charge.
- Flowers - each patient is permitted one vase of flowers or pot plant only, due to issues relating to infection control and emergency procedures.
- Please do not visit if you are suffering from a cold, flu, diarrhoea or vomiting, or any other infectious symptoms.
