What can I bring in?

We appreciate that the prolonged time using hospital food options can be difficult. Therefore we do encourage you/family/visitors to bring in additional food choices to support you to meet your nutritional needs during your admission.

Given the nature of the treatment and the elevated risk of infection, we do specify that food brought in is individually wrapped.

This includes: pre-wrapped cakes/biscuits/chocolate bars and individual packs of crisps/crackers/savoury snacks.

Ward staff cannot heat or reheat any food. Therefore hot food should not be brought into the ward.

NHS GGC does not accept responsibility for any food that is prepared and purchased outside our facilities.

More information on what can be brought into the hospital is available on the NHSGGC website
