The new variant of Covid-19 (Omicron) is highly transmissible; for this reason, we need to restrict the number of visitors to the wards at our hospital to maintain patient and staff safety. From Thursday 23 December, routine visiting to wards will no longer be possible and visitors will be allowed to visit the hopsital in exceptional cases only, which the ward manager/Nurse in Charge will agree.
These restrictions also apply to those wanting to accompany outpatients to their appointments.
We hope you understand the importance of protecting both patients and staff and therefore why we have had to take this difficult decision. We appreciate this will be disappointing and upsetting for many people, however this decision has not been taken by the staff caring for your loved one so please do not express any frustration toward them. Our staff do an incredible job on a daily basis and any type of violence and aggression toward them will not be tolerated.
