Changes made to hospital visiting from today

Mon, 19 Jul 2021

The visiting policy for Noble's Hospital and Ramsey District Cottage Hospital will change from today.

Visiting is being limited as a result of the increased transmission of Covid-19 on the Island.

During the current phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, visiting at Noble's and Ramsey and District Cottage Hospitals will be as outlined below:

All visiting must be arranged in advance with the Nurse in charge of the ward prior to coming to the hospital
Patients can only receive one visitor at a time, with the duration of visiting lasting less than 15 minutes per visitor
All visitors must wear a mask at all times in the hospital. If a visitor is unable to tolerate wearing a face mask, they should communicate with ward or outpatient clinic staff (if possible prior to their visit) so that a risk assessment can be undertaken. Social distancing must be maintained
A Visitor Registration Form must be completed for all visitors entering the ward and given to the Ward Clerk or a member of nursing staff for Contact Tracing purposes
