All general visiting suspended

-

WEXHAM PARK: Frimley Health Trust hospitals – including Wexham Park Hospital – have suspended all general visiting.

Arrangemen­ts for maternity services, children, carers of vulnerable patients and patients at the end of life will remain as before.

The trust said on its website: “It is not a decision we have made lightly but our priority is the safety of all our patients and staff.

“It follows the Government announceme­nt for more stringent rules to control the spread of COVID19 and the elevation of the location of our main hospital sites into the highest tier 4 category.

“We understand the importance of visiting for many patients and we will of

course keep the arrangemen­ts under daily review.”

The trust says it will try to accommodat­e virtual visits via online video or telephone as much as possible.

To arrange a virtual visit, book an appointmen­t by contacting the correct ward directly between 9am and

3pm. The ward contact telephone numbers are available at www.fhft.nhs. uk/your-visit/visiting-times

You can also contact someone in hospital by using the trust's 'message to a loved one' service at www.fhft.nhs.uk/yourvisit/visitingti­mes/message-to-aloved-one
