Snack Provision
We do not recommend that visitors bring in any food to the hospital that needs to be refrigerated. If you would like to bring any other foods in, please discuss with the ward manager. Please keep a few things in mind to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone on the ward: Hygiene and Safety: • Please ensure that the snacks you bring are sealed and properly packaged to maintain hygiene standards. • Avoid bringing perishable items that may spoil quickly, as we may not have the facilities to store them safely. Allergies: • Be mindful of fellow patients who may have allergies. Avoid bringing snacks that contain common allergens like nuts or dairy. Snack Fridge on the Ward (If applicable): We have a designated snack fridge on the ward. Where permission has been discussed with the Ward manager: • Label your snacks with your name and the date of admission to avoid confusion and tell a member of staff that you are keeping food in the fridge. • Report any issues with the snack fridge, such as malfunctioning or overcrowding, to the staff immediately. • If you require assistance in storing or retrieving your snacks from the snack fridge, please don't hesitate to ask the nursing staff for help. If you have been seen by a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT), please ensure that any snacks brought in need to be in line with your modified diet/fluid recommendations.
