Information about coronavirus (COVID-19)

To stop the spread of coronavirus and to keep our patients, staff, and communities safe, we’ve made some temporary changes to your care.

Wear a face covering to protect other patients, visitors, and our staff

Please wear a face covering when you come to the hospital. Your face covering must cover your mouth and nose. Only take off your face covering if your clinician asks you to.

You can buy face coverings from various places online, or you can make one at home by following the government’s instructions.

Remember, face coverings are just one way to protect ourselves, our friends and family, other patients, and staff. They only work if everyone uses them.

  1. Your outpatient appointment

    Your appointment will either take place as usual, or we’ll talk to you online or on the phone. We’ll let you know if you need to do anything different.
  2. Your planned procedure or endoscopy

    If you have a date for your planned procedure, follow our information about shielding and testing.
  3. COVID-19 and maternity services

    We want to keep mum safe and baby healthy, so we’ve changed some of our clinics, our visiting policy, and introduced new rules for birthing partners. Our teams are still here to care for you.
  4. Visiting a friend or relative

    Our wards are closed to visitors (except in exceptional circumstances) but we can connect you with your loved ones in other ways.
  5. Get the right care for you

    If you’re concerned you have the symptoms of COVID-19, stay indoors and do not attend A&E, walk in or urgent care centres, or your GP. Otherwise, in an emergency our urgent care centres and A&Es are open as usual.
  6. Leave space, cover your face

    We can reduce the spread of COVID-19 if we all take precautions. Wear a face covering and keep your distance when you come to hospital.
