Visiting

Person-centred, open visiting catered around patient care and therapies.

If wishing to visit outside normal hours, please discuss with the nurse in charge. We also ask if it possible to schedule visiting outside therapies or treatments.

Nursing staff will be available and help you and answer all questions and queries. Family can phone for an update at any time.

The Unit has a limited number of rooms to allow relatives who stay far away from Glasgow to be close to their relatives across the initial few days of injury. Allocation of rooms is based upon need and availability and only ever on a short term basis.
