Blackrock Clinic hospital visiting protocols are reviewed in line with best clinical practice. 

Patient safety remains our priority, so we respectfully ask all patients and their families to consider maintaining a no visitor policy unless it is deemed necessary, or of benefit to the patient’s wellbeing.

Should you attend as a visitor, please adhere to the following guidelines:

• Visiting is allowed between the hours of 5.30pm – 7pm.
• One visitor only per patient.

Any visiting restrictions are in place to help protect our patients, so thank you for respecting our protocols. Everyone plays a role in keeping our patients safe – it takes a team!

Flowers 

Flowers are not permitted in patient rooms.

Please understand that the reason for this is “Infection Prevention and Control“. Patient safety is our  priority.
