Keeping our staff, patients and visitors safe during the ongoing pandemic

The next step in lifting government Covid-19 restrictions is due to take place from 19 July.

Coronavirus is still circulating in the community and we still need to remain vigilant.

As a busy hospital Trust, we need to maintain high levels of infection prevention and control and we are asking all staff, patients and visitors to continue to wear face masks and appropriate PPE when inside the hospital and carry out regular hand decontamination.

We will still routinely screen patients when admitted to hospital and ahead of pre-planned treatment.

A booking system will be maintained for visiting patients on inpatient wards and visiting restrictions remain in place. More details on visiting restrictions are here Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust » Visiting (nnuh.nhs.uk) and we will continue to monitor the situation.

We will also be maintaining social distancing in the hospital, and where appropriate, some outpatient appointments will continue to be run remotely by telephone or video call.

Please help and protect your community by ensuring you have had both Covid jabs and take part in rapid testing to limit the spread of the virus.

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
