VISITING ACROSS ALL INPATIENT WARDS AND DEPARTMENTS

Updated on 21 May 2021

Due to the ongoing Government COVID-19 restrictions and the need for us to encourage the public to abide by these rules, the Trust still has visiting restrictions in place with the only exceptions being:

Patients who are in the last days of life.
Patients who are receiving a new significant life changing or limiting diagnosis.
A birthing partner accompanying a woman in labour and for the immediate post-natal period.
A parent or appropriate adult visiting a child.
Patients suffering mental health issues such as dementia, a learning disability or autism, where not having visitors is causing the patient distress.
Long term stay patients – those who have been in hospital over a week.
Critically ill patients in the critical care unit, high dependency areas or ED.

COVID-19 VACCINATION PROGRAMME

The first phase of the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme has started. When it is the right time people will receive an invitation to come forward. For most people this will be a letter, either from their GP or the national NHS. This letter will include all the information you will need to book appointments, including your NHS number.

Please do not contact the NHS to get an appointment until you get this letter. Please visit the following page for information from Public Health England about how the vaccination programme is being rolled out.

Information on the vaccine is available on the NHS.UK website.
