Visiting Times
Protecting our patients and those who care for them is our top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Effective Thursday 5 November 2020, we have restricted visiting arrangements.
Visitors will only be considered in exceptional circumstances where one visitor – an immediate family member or carer – will be permitted to visit. These include:
- One regular carer for a patient with additional needs, e.g. dementia, mental health or learning disabilities
- One parent or guardian for a child
- One person accompanying a person in labour
- For a patient receiving end of life care
- For a patient where a change in treatment would benefit from a meaningful exchange
- One close relative for a long-stay patient where a visit would improve wellbeing
