Limited visiting

To protect our patients, staff and community and stop the spread of the virus we are currently limiting the number of visitors to the hospital. This includes limitations on patient visiting, as well as accompanying a friend or relative who attends for a routine appointment in main or specialty outpatients, including maternity. Please visit this link for more information.

Attending for an appointment

Please remember that you should attend alone for any appointment at the hospital, unless you need a carer or are a child patient. All outpatients and anyone attending the hospital should wear a face covering at all times when in the hospital building.
