This allows our patients to eat their meals without any interruptions in a more relaxed and calm environment. The only people on the ward will be the nurses and PSAs involved with serving meals allowing our staff to monitor and give assistance to patients who need it<\/p>\n<h2>Bringing food into hospital<\/h2>\n<p>We advise against bringing food into hospital as it is difficult to ensure safety of products not provided by our caterers. Certain foods present a higher risk of food contamination than others.
