To help protect patients, visitors, and staff while there are increasing numbers of respiratory illnesses, including flu, and norovirus in the local community, we have introduced mask wearing in some areas of Queen Alexandra Hospital and are encouraging visitors to join staff in wearing one too. Masks are available by the entrances.
Our teams are working hard to safely care for our patients and there are a few things you can do to help.
If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID or flu including cough, loss of taste and smell, or a temperature, please do not visit until you are better.
If you have diarrhoea or vomiting, or if you have had these symptoms, please do not visit the hospital until you have been free of them for 48 hours.
If you are visiting our sites, please wash your hands with soap and water regularly. Hand gel is available but does not protect against Norovirus (diarrhoea or vomiting).
If you need urgent medical advice that isn't an emergency, please visit our Know Where to Go page for help on services available.
