About us

Astor is an emergency surgical ward and cares for patients admitted from the emergency (A&E) department, outpatient clinics or transferred from another hospital.

Visiting times

Patients can receive visitors between 8am and 8pm. There is no restriction on the amount of time visitors can stay, but they should usually leave by 8pm.

Ask the Nurse in Charge if you wish to visit someone outside usual visiting hours and they will try and accommodate your visit if it is not disruptive to others.

For more detailed guidelines about visiting please read information about visiting someone in hospital.
