Mealtimes at University Hospital Lewisham

At meal times, we try to ensure that patients are not interrupted by either clinicians or visitors.

As a result, during mealtimes visitors will be asked to leave the ward unless the nursing staff have made an arrangement with them to help a patient to eat and drink.

Breakfast: 8–9am

Lunch: 12–2pm

Dinner: 5–6.30pm
