Order flowers to Royal Preston Hospital with fast delivery
When a loved one is being cared for at Royal Preston Hospital, sending a thoughtful bouquet is a simple way to brighten their day and let them know you are thinking of them. Located on Sharoe Green Lane in Fulwood, just north of Preston city centre, Royal Preston Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in Lancashire and serves patients from across the North West of England. As a major teaching hospital and home to the regional neurosciences and cancer centres, it cares for thousands of inpatients every year, many of whom welcome the comfort of fresh flowers during their stay. Our local florists deliver beautiful, hand-tied bouquets to Royal Preston Hospital seven days a week. Whether you are ordering from down the road in Preston, from further afield in Lancashire, or from overseas, we make sure your flowers arrive fresh and ready to lift spirits. Each arrangement is prepared on the day of delivery using seasonal British blooms wherever possible, and we offer a wide selection to suit every taste and budget, from cheerful mixed bouquets to elegant lilies and classic roses. Deliveries to Royal Preston Hospital are typically made to the main reception desk, where staff will arrange for the flowers to be taken to the relevant ward. We recommend placing your order before 1pm to guarantee same-day delivery on weekdays. Standard visiting hours at Royal Preston Hospital are generally between 2pm and 8pm, though some wards have their own specific times, so it is worth checking ahead if you plan to visit in person. Please note that, in line with infection control policies common across NHS trusts, certain wards at Royal Preston Hospital, particularly intensive care, oncology and neurosciences units, may restrict fresh flowers. If this applies to your recipient, we suggest sending a non-floral gift such as a plant in a sealed container, chocolates or a balloon bouquet instead. When ordering, simply provide the patient's full name, ward name and the hospital address: Royal Preston Hospital, Sharoe Green Lane, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 9HT. Our team is always on hand to help you choose the perfect arrangement to send a little Lancashire warmth to someone special.
Frequently asked questions about flowers to Royal Preston Hospital
What time can flowers be delivered to Royal Preston Hospital?
We deliver flowers to Royal Preston Hospital Monday to Saturday, with same-day delivery available on orders placed before 1pm. Deliveries are made to the main reception on Sharoe Green Lane, where hospital staff or volunteers will pass them on to the ward. While visiting hours are typically 2pm to 8pm, our couriers can drop off bouquets earlier in the day so the recipient enjoys them for as long as possible. Sunday and bank holiday deliveries may be available depending on your postcode at checkout.
Are fresh flowers allowed on all wards at Royal Preston Hospital?
Most general wards at Royal Preston Hospital accept fresh flowers, but some specialist areas do not. Intensive care, the regional neurosciences unit, haematology and certain oncology wards usually restrict fresh blooms for infection control reasons. If you are unsure, it is best to ring the ward directly before ordering. As an alternative, we offer a lovely range of potted plants in sealed pots, fruit baskets, chocolates and balloons that are welcome throughout the hospital and make equally thoughtful gifts.
What details do I need to send flowers to a patient at Royal Preston Hospital?
To ensure your flowers reach the right person at Royal Preston Hospital, please provide the patient's full name, the name of their ward (for example, Ward 22 or the Rosemere Cancer Centre), and the hospital's full address: Royal Preston Hospital, Sharoe Green Lane, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 9HT. A contact telephone number for the recipient or a relative is also helpful in case the patient has been discharged or transferred before delivery, allowing us to reroute the bouquet quickly.
