As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are having to change how we deliver the care for our patients.
Patients who have symptoms (fever/cough) or if family members have symptoms should not attend the hospital, unless it is an emergency and should inform staff of their symptoms immediately on arrival.
To reduce the number of people attending hospital and thereby limiting the transmission of the virus, we will be performing telephone and video consultations.
Patients who need to be reviewed in person will still be seen in clinic where possible.
Those who need urgent blood tests/treatments, provisions will be made either in the community or in the hospital.
