We are asking all visitors to put a facemask on before you come in to see your loved one. Please keep this on during your whole visit.
This is to keep our patients and staff safe.
Please do not visit if: • you have a cough, cold or flu like symptoms • you have had sickness or diarrhoea in the past 2 days 48 hours • you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 7 days
We do not allow any children who are under 12 years old to visit at the moment. This is to help stop the spread of infections.
Please note - there may be times when we need to suspend visiting in certain areas. This is when we have an infection outbreak. Please respect our staff if we need to do this. We work hard to keep everyone safe.
Please see our latest visitor guidance below.

Carer passport It can be difficult when someone you care for has to go into hospital. We support and encourage you to be as involved as you want to be. You can stay longer and outside of the normal visiting hours. Please ask the Ward Manager about our Carer Passport. This helps to identify you as a carer.
Other areas Special arrangements will stay in place in certain parts of the hospital (for example critical care). Please talk to the nurse in charge.
