The general visiting hours at Wexham Park Hospital are from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM for inpatient wards, with certain exceptions such as maternity services and specific ward requirements[3][5][1]. Visitors should check in at the ward reception desk and may be required to provide identification and the patient’s name[3][5]. Only two visitors at a time are permitted for each inpatient, and for outpatient appointments or the Emergency Department, only one accompanying person is allowed due to space limitations[3][5].
For maternity services (as of April 1, 2025), the following apply:
- One support person can stay from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
- Siblings can visit between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM, with just one adult at the bedside at a time.
- Other visitors are allowed between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM (up to two visitors per bedside, and no non-siblings under 10 permitted)[3].
Children under 12 are generally discouraged from visiting, unless permitted by hospital staff under special circumstances[1]. Some wards, such as the ICU, may have more restricted visiting hours or require prior arrangement[1].
Visitors are asked to maintain good hand hygiene, use sanitiser, and wear masks where required. Masks are available in all clinical areas; visitors will need to wear a mask in certain patient areas[3][5]. If you are feeling unwell, you should postpone your visit to ensure patient and staff safety[3][7].
These guidelines can change to meet patient or hospital needs at any time, so it is always best to confirm current rules with the ward or check the hospital’s official information before visiting[3][1].
