Wards (inpatient)

Visiting is currently restricted to Hayes and Rockwood wards. 

In ward areas affected by outbreaks this winter, visiting is restricted to essential visiting only to ensure we protect both patient, staff and visitors from the spread of infection.

Essential examples:

• The patient is palliative or is at the end of life 
• The patient has a mental health issue, dementia, a learning disability, or autism
• Where the attendance of a key contact will benefit a patient's clinical condition or wellbeing (ward staff will get in touch if a visit will be beneficial).
• Where permitted it should only be one person unless by exception and authorised by the Nurse in Charge

Please speak to ward staff.
