As we brace ourselves for chillier days and look forward to more indoor gatherings and seasonal social events with friends and family, now is the ideal time to remind ourselves of behaviours that can reduce the spread of respiratory infections known to peak during the autumn and winter period.

Due to a sharp rise in flu and other respiratory infections, we’ve made the difficult decision to suspend routine visiting across all NHS Ayrshire & Arran hospitals from Thursday 4 December.

Essential visits only will be supported at this time, and we’ll review the situation daily and restore routine visiting as soon as it’s safe.

Our teams will help patients and families stay connected during this time.

Please do your part to reduce the spread of infection: wash your hands, stay home if unwell, and consider getting your flu and COVID vaccines.

Help us prioritise emergency care this winter.
🏥 A&E = critical emergencies only (heart attack, stroke, severe bleeding).

Unsure if you need A&E? Call NHS 24 on 111 anytime.

NHS 24 will help you get the right care in the right place, often closer to home and without the need to go to A&E. This may include a phone or video consultation.
