All wards now open with extended visiting hours over Christmas

Weston has managed its Norovirus outbreak with all wards affected now open as normal. The hospital is pleased to announce that all restrictions it had in place have now been lifted. It’s now in a position to offer extended visiting hours for family and friends wanting to see loved ones spending Christmas in hospital.

However, Weston is asking visitors to remain vigilant as Norovirus and respiratory infections are still circulating in the local community. To find out more about Norovirus, please click HERE. 

Visiting hours

Visiting hours have been extended during the holiday period.

• We welcome visiting between 10am and 8pm for the four days 25^th to 28^th December 2014 and ask that relatives/visitors help us by not bringing infection into the hospital. 
• Please do not visit loved ones if you have had diarrhoea and/or vomiting in the last two days or if you have had a cold or flu in the last two days.
• All visitors are encouraged to wash/gel their hands when they come to visit and when they leave.  Gel is available beside beds, at ward entrances and at the main hospital entrance.
