Coronavirus (COVID-19)- updated information for visitors

We have some visiting restrictions at this time.

Siblings, other family members and friends will not be allowed to visit, and we ask that they do not attend the hospital site. This will help us to minimise the number of people in the hospital and reduce the risk of spreading infection to keep you and your family safe.  

There may be exceptional circumstances to this, which we will discuss with you on an individual basis.
