Taken flowers into the hospital to cheer a neighbour up who has had a stroke, we was told to take them away by the receptionist, no flowers allowed

Made me pretty sad, was a beautiful bouquet, thought I was doing a good thing

Unfortunately this has been the case for a while for a variety of reasons. At least your gesture won't go unnoticed and good for you for being a thoughtful neighbour. Wishing your neighbour a speedy recovery. x

The same thing happened when I visited my Nana in hospital last week. When asked, the nurse said it's because staphylococci can grow in the water. I presume that most people know not to drink vase water...

I think it’s something to do with infection control. It’s been a rule for a while now.

It was a lovely gesture OP! Wishing your neighbour a speedy recovery

This has been a rule for years! Staph and other infections are the reason plus frankly hcps & other staff have more important things to do than fAff looking after flowers, also staff and other patients may have allergies.

As an addendum best to take fruit (the cliched grapes are a cliche for a reason), jelly pots & drinks are also a good choice (hydration) but if they’re diabetic NOT lucozade or similar.

Ok. I see it's been a rule for a while. Thankfully I don't hang around hospitals much so genuinely didn't know

People tend to change the water of fresh flowers using the sinks on wards.

Those are good ideas, thank you. I was sat trying to figure out what else I could take in

It’s to do with the illnesses the people may be suffering OP. Normally asthma / COPD type illnesses. Speaking from experience sadly. Its best not to take anything until you can ask what is allowed
