With flu cases rising rapidly in the community, patients and visitors are being asked to wear a face mask in clinical areas when attending the hospital.

We are introducing this important measure to help protect patients, visitors and staff from flu and other winter viruses.

You can pick up a mask at hospital entrances. Please use the hand sanitiser provided and wash your hands regularly during your visit.
