NHS Forth Valley – Visiting Times

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.

In wards where an outbreak of infection is being managed, essential visiting may be temporarily introduced to help protect patients, family members and staff until the situation is resolved.

Person Centred Visiting

Person centred visiting is in place in the majority of inpatient wards at Forth Valley Royal Hospital. This means you can visit patients in the wards listed below at any time, seven days a week.

Ward A11 – Ageing & Health
Ward A12 – Medical (including Haematology)
Ward A21 – Rehabilitation
Ward A22 – Ageing & Health
Ward A31 – Medical
Ward A32 – Gastrointestinal & General Medical
Ward B11 – Surgical

Ward B12 – Surgical
Ward B21/22 – Acute Stroke & Rehabilitation Unit
Ward B23 – Orthopaedics
Ward B31 – Medical (including Respiratory)
Ward B32 – Gastrointestinal & General Medical
Cardiology Ward

It is still important to provide a restful environment and we therefore ask that there are no more than two visitors at any one time. We recognise there may be times when more than two people might need to attend so please speak to a member of staff to discuss visiting arrangements.

Visiting With Flowers

Please be advised that flowers can not be accepted for patients in wards AAU, ICU, A12 and B12.
