Information for Visitors

You can do this by calling us or checking our COVID-19 information page.

Visiting Hours

Visitors are welcome between 1.00pm and 8.00pm.  Visiting outside these hours is by arrangement with the nursing staff only.

Parents may wish to room in with their children.  A bedside cot and meals for parents wishing to stay overnight can be arranged by talking with the attending nurse or Unit Manager.

Visitor Accommodation

The hospital does not encourage relatives to stay overnight unless a patient’s condition warrants this. If you would like to make such arrangements, please discuss this with the Manager of the ward. A fee applies.

In our Reception area we have a snack vending machine and coffee machine for usage. Linacre Private Hospital is approximately a 10 minute walk to Hampton Street shops with a range of restaurants and coffee shops for visitor food and refreshments.
