Important information
Norovirus update
From Saturday 26 April 2025 the following guidance will be in place:
Visiting an adult inpatient: visiting will return to normal across our adult inpatient wards with the exception of A5, A6 and AMU. This is due to the number of positive cases still reported within these areas.
We are continuing to see high numbers of Norovirus cases within the community and across our hospital. Help us stop the spread of infection by following these simple steps:
- Avoid visiting loved ones unless necessary. Contact the ward for advice if needed.
- If you are attending an outpatient appointment or the Emergency Department please only bring 1 family member/friend with you if possible.
- Please avoid visiting the hospital if you are experiencing diarrhoea or vomiting, or if you have had these symptoms within the past 48 hours.
- Use our virtual visiting services and speak to your friend or family member by video call rather than visiting in person. Contact our Family Liaison Service - https://ow.ly/MNXq50V5YtF
