Visitor information
By Bus
The number 19, leaves from Liberation Station and passes Overdale Hospital hourly.
Timetabled therapy sessions may be scheduled during visiting times and take priority. Sessions are shown on a timetable in the patient's room, these times may be subject to change.
We observe protected mealtimes at the Unit and may ask you to leave while meals are served. Protected mealtimes are an important part of a patients care and recovery. Keeping these times protected means patients can eat in in a clam atmosphere with time to enjoy this vital part of their recovery.

Out of hours medial cover is provided by a call out service.
