We understand how important it is to have carers, family, friends or other people come to see you while you are in hospital. We also know that these people can give us important information about you, including how you normally manage at home.

Your carers, family, friends or other people may want to help you when they visit. You or your visitors can ask your nurse what visitors can do to help you, and what things staff should do.
