Visiting and attending our hospitals with a loved one
Visiting a relative or friend
We are now welcoming visitors to most areas of our hospitals although some areas caring for particularly vulnerable patients may have more restrictions in place.
For more information on the specific visitor guidance for each hospital, please visit: St Bartholomew's Hospital, Newham Hospital, Whipps Cross Hospital, Mile End Hospital and The Royal London Hospital. Our teams can also offer support with facilitating virtual visits.
Your safety
We ask visitors coming to our hospitals to:
-
Please clean your hands when entering and exiting clinical areas and wards. You can use the hand gel provided or wash your hands.
-
Universal mask wearing is no longer required, but if you would prefer to wear one these are available at hospital entrances.
-
Please wear a hospital provided surgical facemask when visiting a patient on the ward with a respiratory illness.
Please do not visit if:
-
You have Covid-19 symptoms or have tested positive
-
You've recently been in close contact with someone who's tested positive for Covid-19
-
You have any respiratory symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing or a sore throat
-
You've been sick or have diarrhoea
We are working hard to keep our patients, staff and the public safe. Please do your bit by following this guidance if you wish to visit someone at one of our hospitals.
