By Restrictions eased further at Grimsby hospital but children still not allowed to visit
Restrictions are still slowly being lifted at Grimsby hospital after the covid pandemic caused hospitals across the country to stop visiting hours.
Patients can have two visitors join them during visiting hours from 2pm to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm however this may differ onsome wards.
Additional visiting for vulnerable patients will continue and can be arranged by contacting the ward directly.
Unfortunately, children are not yet allowed to visit those on the wards or on the maternity wards.
Visitors should still wear a face mask, wash their hands and only visit if they have no covid symptoms.
Nothern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Trust added: “As ever, we ask for one person to contact the ward for updates and share information with family and friends with the permission of the patient. This will help keep our staff free to provide care to your loved one and other patients.
“Our visiting policy and restrictions will continue to be reviewed regularly in line with local statistics and national guidance. Any further updates to our visiting policy will be shared on this website page and our social media channels.”
Patients attending outpatient apponitments can now bring one other person along for support but children are not allowed to attend.
Those staying on maternity wards during the antenatal or postnatal period can have their main birth partner can now visit for as long as you wish during the day without booking in advance. Partners are not able to stay overnight.
If your child is admitted to hospital, one parent or guardian can remain with them throughout their stay but again, must wear a mask (unless exempt). Parents of children staying with us and babies being cared for in NICU can swap with grandparents if needed during the stay.
