Special arrangements will be made to accommodate the following essential visitors: one birthing partner supporting a woman during hospital visits; parents of children who are inpatients or attending an outpatient appointment. Parents must remain with their child at all times; one person to support someone with a mental health issue such as dementia, a learning disability or autism where not being present would cause the patient to be distressed and one family member/person for someone receiving end of life care.

All arrangements must be made through the nurse in charge of the ward.
