Byland and Nidderdale ward have restricted visitation to members of the public at present, except when visitors are attending due to the end of life of a patient, a patient needing assistance with feeding, dementia care and compassionate reasons (left to the Nurse in Charge’s discretion).
We tend to have a fast turnover and so work at relatively fast pace. We are also in the process of developing a ward attender service.
The Ward recently came under new management and has a young and enthusiastic team. We work closely with many consultants and specialist nurses.
