Current Arrangements

We have returned to person centred visiting across all our hospitals, this is in line with the relaxation of national COVID-19 restrictions.

We know how important visiting is for the wellbeing of our patients and that it can improve the overall patient experience, prevent psychological trauma and help reduce stress/distress for their family and loved ones.

In addition to ward visiting, anyone attending an outpatient appointment can be accompanied by a family member, friend or a carer. Our Emergency Department and Minor Injuries Unit can become very busy so we would ask, where possible, only one person accompanies a patient.

Ward Visiting Arrangements

• Forth Valley Royal Hospital
• Stirling Health & Care Village (Bellfield Centre)
• Falkirk Community Hospital
• Clackmannanshire Community Healthcare Centre

Visiting Safety Measures

While visiting our hospitals it is important to follow our safety measures;

• Unless exempt, please use a face mask throughout your visit
• Please use hand gel on arrival, departure and when you come into contact with surfaces.
• Please don’t visit if you feel unwell.
• Please use the toilets for the public (not for patients or staff) where you can.
