Visiting a patient
We value the positive impact that visits have on the care and comfort of our patients and have implemented a range of safety measures to keep everyone safe and secure when visiting our hospitals.
Preventing and tackling conflict
Our hospitals are very busy and you may need to wait longer for care than usual.
These challenges can be very frustrating for everyone. As part of our response to preventing and tackling conflict, we have set out clear expectations on how we should all behave towards one another.
