Hospital Visiting New Changes from 2 July
Tomorrow will change a Restrictions for Hospital Visiting from 2 July
In light of the rapidly rising number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and to protect both patients and staff, from 12 noon tomorrow Friday 2 July, hospital visiting, at all NHS Grampian hospitals, will be limited to one, named, person per patient.
Where possible, this should be the same person for all visits.
Should the named visitor become unwell – with symptoms of COVID-19 or any other illness – they should not visit and other arrangements can be made.
NHS Grampian will continue to take a person-centred approach to visiting, especially where patients are vulnerable, have additional support needs, or are receiving End of Life care.
Families are encouraged to have a conversation with the appropriate Senior Nurse or Midwife to understand what is possible in individual clinical areas/services before visiting.
Virtual Visiting remains an option across NHS Grampian hospitals.
