Due to an increase in respiratory illness in the hospital and across the community, we are taking steps to ensure appropriate measures are in place to reduce the spread of infection and protect patients, staff, and visitors.
At this time, hospital visits remain limited to essential visits only. This is a temporary measure. 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
