Visiting
To keep our women, children, families and staff as safe as possible and to limit the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) we now have in place an updated visitor policy. This is being continuously reviewed, and any changes will be communicated at the first opportunity here.
We know that this will be difficult for many of our families and patients but we need your continued support to ensure we minimise the risk of COVID-19 (coronavirus) being brought onto our hospital sites; causing an infection to a vulnerable patient or an essential member of our NHS team.
We’d encourage families and friends to use other means to stay in touch, including digital communications, to offer support to loved ones.
Please note that, despite the easing of lockdown, in order to protect our vulnerable patients, families and staff our visitor restrictions remain in place.
Do not visit if you are unwell, especially if you have a high temperature or a new, persistent cough, or if you are vulnerable as a result of medication you take, have a chronic illness or are over 70. For the latest national guidance on self-isolation visit the NHS England website.
In line with national guidance, including other specialist hospitals, the following will apply to both visits to inpatients and the attendance of outpatient appointments.
