We would like to ask for your help in limiting visitors wherever possible to no more than two at a time, and to only bring children who are under 10 years old where really necessary.
Please:
- use the hand gel when entering and leaving the ward
- respect other patients and keep noise to a minimum
- no more than two visitors at the bedside and only bring young children if you really need to
- help us minimise infection – don’t visit if you are unwell, use the chairs and please don’t sit on a patient’s bed
- do not use mobile telephones, cameras etc in patient areas
- only bring in essential items for patients to keep areas clutter free
- do not bring in flowers for patients (but fruit, chocolate and biscuits are fine)
- do not use physical violence, verbal aggression or threatening behaviour towards staff as this will not be tolerated
- your relative or friend may have agreed for you to ask questions about their condition or treatment – if you wish to speak to a member of staff please ask at the start of your visit so this can be arranged.
