Department Telephone Numbers and Opening Times
Important information: Visiting arrangements on our adult inpatient wards - updated 27.01.2023
From Friday 27 January visiting arrangements on our adult inpatient wards are been revised.
Following a review of our infection prevention and control guidance, we are now allowing two visitors to visit their loved ones at the bedside for up to two hours per day.
In order to maintain patient and public / visitor safety; visiting will be subject to the ward not having any active cases of infections that could be passed on. This local guidance could change at any time at short notice.
This change is as a result of us continually monitoring infection rates in the hospital and locally.
Patients attending outpatient appointments can bring one adult to accompany them, however we would ask patients who are able to attend alone, to please do so.
Visitors and staff must continue with mask wearing and infection control guidance.
The hospitals’ infection prevention and control guidance to the public includes:
-
Anyone showing any symptoms of COVID-19 or feeling otherwise unwell must not visit.
-
Do not visit if a member of your household has tested positive for COVID-19 or flu
-
Visitors, parents, guardians, siblings will be asked to wear a surgical facemask to visit our wards – including the Emergency Department
-
Symptom /wellness checks will be completed on arrival in our wards
-
Please continue to wash your hands regularly before, during, and after, attending hospital and follow staff instructions relevant to the area being attended.
Other actions local people can take to support their hospitals at this difficult time include:
-
Please continue to wash your hands regularly before, during, and after, attending hospital and follow staff instructions relevant to the area being attended.
-
Only going to A&E where this is absolutely necessary and using alternatives such as GP telephone appointments, pharmacies, Corby Urgent Care Centre or NHS 111.
-
Don’t unnecessarily accompany someone to hospital unless your presence is vital for their safety. We have limited socially distanced waiting facilities and cannot allow these to become unnecessarily crowded
-
Please attend your appointments on time – but not too much before time. If you arrive too early, you will be making waiting areas more crowded than they need to be.
