Take breaks: Rest is just as important as celebration.
Talk: Speak to someone if you feel lonely or stressed.
Be kind to yourself: You’re doing your best.

Face masks reintroduced in Emergency Areas at Kings Mill Hospital and Urgent Treatment Centre at Newark

From Friday 5 December 2025, face masks are required in the following areas at King's Mill Hospital:

Emergency Department
Emergency Admissions Unit (EAU)
Surgical Admissions Unit (SAU)
Children’s Admissions Unit (CAU)
Transitional Care Hub
Radiology
and
Urgent Treatment Centre at Newark Hospital

This decision follows an increase in respiratory illnesses, including influenza, among patients, visitors, and staff.
What you need to do:
• Wear a mask at all times in these areas. Masks are available at stations near department entrances.
• Wash your hands frequently and use the hand sanitiser provided.
• Do not visit if you have symptoms of illness (cold, flu, COVID-like symptoms) or have had diarrhoea or vomiting in the past three days.
Anyone with symptoms or a confirmed diagnosis should wear a mask in all areas, including after admission.
Rates of infection are kept under constant review and studies indicate that introducing the wearing of masks is one of the ways that we can prevent the spread of infection in our hospitals.

It is vital that we take decisive action to protect our most vulnerable patients, visitors and colleagues to ensure we can keep essential services running for all those that need them over the coming weeks.
