Getting to Outpatients at Isebrook Hospital in Wellingborough

Important information: Mask Wearing Update 1.7.2022

Face coverings: Our mask wearing guidance has changed as of Friday 1 July 2022

Due to an increase in the BA 4.5 strain of COVID we have re-introduced guidance requiring visitors, patients and colleagues to wear masks when in all clinical areas of the hospital.

From today, Friday 1 July 2022, all, visitors, patients and our colleagues will be asked to wear a mask when inside clinical areas at all times. This includes both inpatient and outpatient areas and anywhere you may receive clinical care.

Masks will not be required in non-clinical areas which are located outside of clinical areas for example in corridors, restaurants or offices.

If you test positive for COVID or have any symptoms of COVID, please do not attend the hospital unless you need urgent medical care. Anyone visiting the site should remember to wash or gel their hands frequently, especially when entering or exiting a clinical area.

We will review this guidance and update at the end of July. Visiting restrictions will not change in light of this new guidance, however some restrictions are still in place in certain departments.

Thank you for your continued support and please note updates will be made as and when needed in line with the latest guidance.
