St. James’s Hospital in Dublin requests visitors to attend during the designated times of 2:30pm–3:30pm and 7:30pm–8:30pm, Monday to Sunday. All visitors should clean their hands on entering and leaving the facility. Children under 14 are not usually permitted unless advance permission has been obtained from the ward’s nurse manager. Special arrangements for compassionate or urgent reasons can be made by discussing with the ward’s nurse manager[5].
At St. James’s University Hospital in Leeds, general visiting hours across most wards are 2:00pm–8:00pm.

Most wards limit visitors to two per patient, and children under 16 are generally not allowed[7].
If you intend to visit a different St. James Hospital (such as in the US or for specialised wards), please consult the relevant facility’s website or contact the nurse manager directly for their specific policies, as visiting hours and protocols may vary[3].
