Clackmannanshire Community Healthcare Centre Visiting Times
Person centred visiting is in place in the inpatient wards at Clackmannanshire Community Healthcare Centre. This means you can visit patients in the wards listed below at any time, seven days a week.
| Wards | Phone Number | Visiting Times |
|---|---|---|
| Ward 1 | 01259 290302 | Open Visiting* |
| Ward 2 | 01259 290307 | Open Visiting* |
*It is still important to maintain a restful environment for all patients and we therefore ask that there are no more than two visitors at any one time. We recognise there may be times that more than two people might need to attend and so speak to a member of staff to discuss visiting arrangements.
Restricted Items
Some items you may wish to bring with you are restricted for the safety of patients and visitors.
To help keep our hospitals safe, we ask visitors not to bring latex balloons into any hospital buildings, wards, outpatient departments or public areas (including atriums).
Some people have a latex allergy, and exposure can cause symptoms within minutes. In rare cases, it can lead to a life-threatening reaction (anaphylaxis).
Why latex balloons are a problem in hospitals
Latex balloons can release tiny particles into the air and onto surfaces. In busy hospital environments, this increases the chance of accidental exposure for anyone who is sensitised to latex.
What you can bring instead
We know gifts are often brought to cheer someone up. Choosing latex-free options helps protect people with allergies.
- Foil / metallic balloons labelled non-latex
- Cards
- Books, puzzles or colouring items
- Small comfort items (please check with the ward if you’re unsure)
Recognising an allergic reaction
Symptoms can include:
- Itchy rash or hives
- Swelling of the face, lips or eyes
- Itching or tingling in the mouth
- Throat tightness, hoarse voice, trouble swallowing
- Wheezing, coughing or breathing difficulty
- Dizziness, feeling faint or collapsing
Call 999 immediately if someone has severe breathing difficulty, swelling of the tongue or throat, or becomes faint or collapses.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone. If you’re unsure whether something is suitable to bring in, please ask ward staff before visiting.
