Due to a high volume of respiratory illness within our community, we are continuing to temporarily limit hospital visits to the Gilbert Bain Hospital to essential visits only.
Although this is a temporary measure, we anticipate the restrictions will be in place for at least the next few days. Please contact the relevant ward before making any visits by calling 01595 74 3000. Staff will continually risk assess and may advise patients and visitors to wear face masks as and when appropriate; handwashing is also essential.
If you are planning to visit a loved one and have any cold or flu-like symptoms, we kindly ask that you wait until you feel better before visiting.
For advice on respiratory and flu symptoms, please visit NHS Inform for guidance: Winter illness | NHS inform
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
