Visiting - following strict infection prevention guidance

When someone is suffering from a burns injury or is recovering from plastic surgery, they are more vulnerable to infection.

In an effort to minimise the spread of infection, and to protect our patients, you will be asked to use the alcohol gel on entry and exit, and wear an apron whilst in the room to cover your clothes while visiting.

Please wash your hands with soap and water before leaving the patient’s room and place aprons in the bins provided.

Notify the nurse if you have a cold or other communicable disease before entering a patient’s room.

Do not visit if you have diarrhoea or vomiting.
