COVID-19: Changes to Visitors Policy

From 22 March we have taken the difficult decision to stop all visitors to patients in adult wards and our emergency department.

 

On maternity wards only one birthing partner is permitted to keep babies and mothers safe. This also applies to children's wards where one consistent visitor is allowed per patient.

 

We are sorry that this will cause anxiety for some relatives who are, understandably anxious to see their loved ones when they are unwell. You may still phone your friends or relatives on their personal mobile phone (these are permitted in our hospital). If they do not have a mobile phone you will find details of phone numbers for each of our wards by clicking here.

 

Please try to avoid calling between 12.00 - 2.00pm and 5.00 - 6.00pm as our staff will be occupied serving meals to patients.
