Visiting
As part of our commitment to keep people safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19 visiting has been suspended until further notice.
In exceptional circumstances, an immediate family member or carer will be permitted to visit:
- if the person is receiving end of life care and is not COVID-19 positive
- you are the parent or appropriate adult visiting a child
- you are supporting someone with a mental health issues such as dementia where not being present would cause the patient to be distressed.
Please contact the ward in advance to discuss appropriate arrangements. We can help you by facilitating telephone or video calls as an alternative to visiting in person.
