Legal Representatives

If you are a legal representative wishing to visit a State Hospital patient (i.e. your client), please call the patient’s ward in the first instance to arrange a suitable date and time for you to visit.

On arrival at the Hospital you should provide a current Law Society ID card or Faculty of Advocates card. Where this is not possible then photographic ID must be provided. A check on the website for the Law Society and Faculty of Advocates will be carried out.

Trainee solicitors visiting the Hospital must produce photographic ID and a current letter from their firm confirming they are employed by them.
