Patient and visitor notice: mask wearing is recommended

To help reduce the spread of flu and other respiratory illnesses this winter, we have introduced mask wearing in some areas, including our Emergency Departments, Urgent Treatment Centres, Same Day Emergency Care areas and Frailty Assessment areas. Masks are available in the main entrances of our hospitals. Thank you for helping us keep our hospitals safe for everyone.
