Most wards are open to visitors from 14:00 to 20:00, with a quiet hour after lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clean your hands with the gel at the ward door when you arrive and leave. If you have had a cold, sickness or diarrhoea in the last 48 hours, please wait until you are well.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are not sure what to bring, ask the nurse in charge. A long phone cable, a book and a familiar dressing gown usually help more than flowers, which we cannot have on the wards.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short visits, clean hands and a phone charger: small things that make a stay easier (sample).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-your-visit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions\/72"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
