If there are mitigating circumstances such as access issues, if the appointment will affect your sight or mobility or other factors you may be exempt from this rule. If you’re unsure, call ahead of your appointment to check.
Before you visit:
- Handwashing: When visiting someone in hospital, please clean your hands using soap and water. Sinks are available at all entrances to our hospitals and most wards, to enable you to do this. Where there is not a sink, you should be able to use alcohol hand rub instead.
- Illnesses: If you have a cough, cold, diarrhoea, vomiting or a temperature, you could have an infection and may risk passing this on to our patients. Please do not visit the hospital if you have these symptoms.
- Face covering: Following the Government’s announcement on Friday (5 June), we are asking all visitors to the Trust to wear an appropriate face covering
