Visiting restrictions in hospitals, hospices and care homes
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are visiting restrictions in place at hospitals, hospices and care homes to prevent the virus spreading.
If you are ill and an inpatient, you may feel isolated away from family and friends. If your loved one is ill, you may feel uninvolved, helpless and worried about their care.
What you can do
You can find out more information about visit restrictions at our local hospital, Great Western Hospital, here.
