Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Please use the sections above to find out the latest information about visiting, outpatient appointments, maternity services, how to share your experiences of our services during COVID-19, and how share a message with your loved one in hospital.
Before your visit
Please do not visit a patient in hospital if you feel unwell. This includes symptoms of COVID-19, sickness, diarrhoea, fever, sore throat or flu.
During your visit
Masks must still be worn in inpatient ward areas, patient admission areas, and areas with patients who are immunosuppressed. This includes:
Masks are no longer required to be worn in any other areas of our Trust buildings. If you wish to continue wearing a mask in all areas, please do so.
We’re in the process of updating our signage and posters, so please bear with us and do ask a member of staff if you are unsure.
Masks and hand gel stations will stay at the main entrances to all our hospitals/sites. Masks and personal protective equipment (PPE) will be available at ward/department entrances where required.
Social distancing as we know it as a COVID-19 requirement, is no longer required in both clinical and non-clinical areas.
Please be aware that some people may still want to wear a mask in areas where one is not required, or keep some distance, and that is their personal choice. Please respect their choice.
