Preventing the spread of infections whilst visiting.
We take cleanliness and infection prevention very seriously, but need your help to keep our infection rates low.
How you can help
Infectious illnesses – if you know, or think, that you may have an
infectious condition , please contact the relevant ward or department before visiting.
If you have an infectious condition such as chicken pox, measles, diarrhoea or vomiting we may ask you not to come into hospital, as these infections could pose a risk to others.
To reduce the spread of infections we ask you to avoid sitting on hospital beds.
Hand washing
There are hand rub dispensers at the entrance to every ward. Please use this to clean your hands on entering or leaving a ward. Using the hand rub kills any germs on your hands and reduces the risk of introducing infection to patients within the ward.
Flowers
Flowers or potted plants are not allowed in the hospital.
Extra infection control measures
From time to time we may need to transfer patients between wards. Side rooms are usually left for this purpose and for end of life care.
If this is the case, you must ask nursing staff about any precautions you need to take and whether there are any restrictions to visiting.
