What happens if the patient has been discharged or moved wards?
If the patient has been discharged from King George Hospital before your flowers arrive, our driver will contact you for further instructions. We can attempt redelivery to a home address in Ilford or the surrounding area, usually for a small additional fee. If the patient has simply been transferred to another ward within King George Hospital, reception staff will direct our driver to the new location. We always recommend confirming the ward name on the morning of delivery if possible.
Are there any restrictions on sending flowers to wards at King George Hospital?
Yes, like many NHS hospitals, King George Hospital restricts fresh flowers on certain wards, including intensive care, the neonatal unit, and some surgical recovery areas, due to infection control policies. Before ordering, it is worth checking with the specific ward by calling the hospital switchboard. If flowers are not allowed, we offer lovely alternatives such as potted plants, fruit baskets, chocolates, balloons, and soft toys, all of which can be delivered to King George Hospital in Ilford with the same care.
