St Aidan's Hospital Visiting Hours

Visiting times
Monday to Friday 14:00 to 15:00 and 17:30 to 18:30
Weekends 13:00 to 15:00
Public holidays 13:00 to 15:00

St Aidan's is a referral hospital with no general outpatient department, so you cannot walk in to be seen; patients arrive here from another hospital or clinic. Weekend visiting is a single two-hour block from 13:00, while weekdays are split into an afternoon hour and an early evening hour ending at 18:30. Being in the city centre, parking on Centenary Road is limited and the surrounding streets are busy at the end of the working day, so the 14:00 weekday slot is easier than the evening one. Administration and clinics run from 07:30 to 16:00 on weekdays and are closed at weekends. Visiting times do change, so ring 031 329 1417 before you travel.
