Help us stop the spread of winter bugs: Advice for patients and visitors
10 October 2023
As we approach the winter months, we are asking all patients and visitors to support us in helping stop the spread of bugs and viruses in our hospital sites and clinics.
As we approach the winter months, we are asking all patients and visitors to support us in helping stop the spread of bugs and viruses in our hospital sites and clinics.
Please do not attend our hospital sites or clinics to visit friends or family if you have symptoms of COVID-19, symptoms of flu, or recent episodes of diarrhoea and vomiting. This will help keep patients and staff safe.
If you have respiratory symptoms or diarrhoea and vomiting and are due to attend an appointment or procedure, please seek advice from the relevant service before attending.
Masks are currently not enforced in our hospitals, but on some wards visitors may be asked to wear them. Masks are freely available for people who wish to wear one. We encourage everyone to wash their hands or use hand sanitiser when using our services.
Thank you for your support.
