Do I have to book before visiting someone at Royston?

Booking is not required. We request you scan the QR code or sign the visitor register on entry. Please do not visit if you are unwell and/or have any cold or flu-like symptoms.

Should you want to bring food or drinks into hospital it is important that it is safe and hygienic. Many cases of food poisoning in hospital have been traced back to food brought in from outside. If you would like to bring food into hospital we ask that you bring healthy choices.

Visiting hours are from 1pm until 7pm. The clinical condition of some patients may restrict the number of visitors allowed.

Overnight stays for a parent or caregiver of a dependent child should be discussed with your specialist so that this request can be pre-arranged with the hospital.
