Our flower delivery service makes it easy to send fresh, hand-arranged flowers directly to patients at Ulster Hospital, whether they are recovering on a short-stay ward or settling in for a longer period of treatment. Located on the Upper Newtownards Road in Dundonald, just a few miles east of Belfast city centre, Ulster Hospital is one of the largest acute hospitals in Northern Ireland and serves communities right across the Ards Peninsula and East Belfast. The site is part of the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust and includes the emergency department, maternity unit, surgical wards and a wide range of specialist services. With so many patients passing through Ulster Hospital each week, we understand how important it is that flowers arrive promptly, in beautiful condition, and at a time that suits both visiting hours and ward routines. We deliver to all main wards at Ulster Hospital, including general medical and surgical wards, the maternity unit for new arrivals, and day-procedure areas where a small posy can be a lovely surprise on discharge. Deliveries are typically taken to the main reception or directly to the ward reception desk, where staff will either pass them on to the patient or arrange for them to be collected. Please note that some clinical areas, such as intensive care and certain isolation wards, may not accept fresh flowers, so it is always worth checking with the ward before placing your order. General visiting hours at Ulster Hospital usually run during the afternoon and early evening, and we time our deliveries to arrive within working hours so flowers can be received and looked after properly. When ordering, please include the patient's full name, ward name and, if known, their bed or room number. This helps the team at Ulster Hospital match flowers to the correct recipient quickly. From cheerful seasonal bouquets to elegant lily arrangements and gentle pastel posies, our florists prepare every order by hand using fresh British and locally sourced blooms wherever possible. Whether you are nearby in Dundonald, Belfast, Newtownards or further afield, sending flowers to Ulster Hospital is a kind and practical way to let a loved one know they are in your thoughts.
Frequently asked questions about flowers to Ulster Hospital
What are the delivery times for flowers to Ulster Hospital?
We deliver flowers to Ulster Hospital Monday to Saturday, with most orders arriving between late morning and early evening to fit around ward routines and visiting hours. If you place your order before midday, we can usually arrange same-day delivery to Dundonald. We avoid very early morning and late-night drop-offs, as wards are often busy with medication rounds and rest periods. For weekend or specific time requests, please leave a note at checkout and we will do our best to accommodate.
Which wards at Ulster Hospital accept flower deliveries?
Most general medical, surgical and maternity wards at Ulster Hospital accept fresh flower deliveries without any issue. However, areas such as the Intensive Care Unit, Coronary Care, and some respiratory or isolation wards may not allow fresh flowers due to infection control policies. If you are unsure, we recommend ringing the ward at Ulster Hospital directly before ordering. When fresh flowers are not suitable, we can offer alternatives such as dried bouquets, plants in sealed pots, or chocolates and gift sets that are widely accepted.
What information do I need to provide when sending flowers to Ulster Hospital?
To make sure your flowers reach the right person at Ulster Hospital, please provide the patient's full name, the ward they are staying on, and ideally a bed or room number. The hospital address is Upper Newtownards Road, Dundonald, Belfast, BT16 1RH. A contact mobile number for the recipient or a family member is also helpful in case the patient has been moved or discharged. If the patient has gone home before delivery, we will contact you to arrange redirection to a home address in the Dundonald or Belfast area.
