Winter respiratory infections are on the rise across our hospitals and communities, leading to more hospital admissions - especially among vulnerable groups like older adults, babies, and those with existing respiratory conditions.

If you're planning to visit one of our hospital sites in the coming weeks, you can help protect patients, staff, and yourself by taking a few simple steps:

🧼 Practice good hand hygiene: Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or use hand sanitiser.

😷 Wear a mask in hospital settings: Whether you’re attending an appointment or visiting a loved one, we encourage you to wear a mask to help reduce the spread of illness.

💉 Get vaccinated: If you're eligible for the flu or COVID vaccines, don’t delay make sure to get yours.

🚫 Visit responsibly: If you're feeling unwell, please avoid visiting vulnerable individuals to help keep them safe.

Together, we can reduce the spread and support our NHS. Thank you for doing your part! 💙
