Restricted visiting

Please note that we are currently restricting visiting to patients on wards and on our Emergency Assessment Units. This is to help protect against stomach bugs being brought in and transmitted to patients. Visiting is at the discretion of the Ward Sister. Please phone the ward first.

All the latest news about the Trust is available in our press releases. We also have an archive of news from the previous years.
