If there are any immediate changes to current appointments you will be contacted by the Care Co-ordination Centre ahead of time.
Please note: This page will be updated to reflect any changes, so please check back regularly. Last updated 4th March.
Please be aware that all individuals (including staff, visitors and service users) entering one of our hospital or clinic venues will be required to wear a face mask or face covering, as per the government COVID-19 guidance.*
Visitors and outpatients to hospital settings should put on a clean form of face-covering or face mask as you are entering the hospital building. Advice on how to wear and make a face covering can be found here.
*Please note, face coverings should not be used by children under the age of 3 or those who may find it difficult to manage them correctly (including individuals with lung or respiratory conditions affected by the reduced airflow, or who may not be able to apply and remove the mask safely such as individuals with Alzheimer’s; our staff will support you with social distancing in these instances). It is important to use face coverings properly and wash your hands before putting them on and taking them off. For more information visit.
