As we manage the demands of coronavirus (COVID-19), visits to our hospitals have been restricted and we are encouraging family and friends to contact patients via phone and video calls.
To complement this we have also launched a ‘Send a message to a loved one’ service. Family and friends of inpatients can send messages:
