With wintry conditions expected in the coming days, we are currently implementing our ‘cold weather plan’, ensuring that patients who need hospital care will be able to access our sites as needed, whether this is for routine appointments or an emergency admission.
Throughout this time, we intend to run a normal service for our patients.
Our Estates and Facilities team are currently hard at work ensuring that our hospitals are well-gritted, however we do ask visitors to take extra precaution when coming and going.
Local residents can help the Trust by looking-in on elderly relatives and neighbours, ensuring they are safe, warm and have essential medicines and supplies while the weather is bad and it’s difficult to go out.
