Frequently asked questions about flowers to Royal Hospital for Children
Can flowers be delivered directly to a child's ward at the Royal Hospital for Children?
Flowers are usually delivered to the main reception at the Royal Hospital for Children, where staff will arrange for them to be passed to the appropriate ward. Some clinical areas, including paediatric intensive care, oncology and neonatal units, do not permit fresh flowers due to infection control policies. If the patient is in one of these wards, we will contact you to suggest a suitable alternative such as a soft toy, chocolates, or a sealed potted plant.
What are the best delivery times for sending flowers to the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow?
We recommend booking deliveries to the Royal Hospital for Children between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday. This ensures reception is fully staffed and able to receive your bouquet promptly. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 2pm on weekdays. Please provide the patient's full name and ward details when ordering, as the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus is large and accurate information helps our couriers deliver quickly and reliably to the correct location.
Are there any restrictions on the type of flowers I can send to a child in hospital?
Yes, the Royal Hospital for Children advises against strongly scented flowers such as lilies, as well as pollen-heavy blooms that may trigger allergies or affect children with respiratory conditions. We recommend bright, cheerful arrangements featuring roses, gerberas, chrysanthemums, and seasonal mixed bouquets. Small, sturdy arrangements work best in a hospital setting, as bedside space is often limited. Our Glasgow florists are experienced in creating child-friendly bouquets that are safe, colourful and guaranteed to put a smile on a young patient's face.
