Last month, we made the decision that mask wearing across most of our hospitals and units would be optional in line with national guidance.

However, once again we are seeing a rise in the number of patients being cared for with COVID-19 across our services, along with an increase in colleague sickness.

The safety of our patients and colleagues is of the utmost importance, and to minimise the spread of the virus we are taking the difficult decision that from today (Tuesday 5 July) we will be asking everyone (patients, visitors and colleagues) to wear a face mask inside all of our NHS trust buildings, including clinical areas and non-clinical areas such as corridors.

We know this will be disappointing, following the relaxation of the rules last month - but it’s very important that we take this immediate, proactive step to respond to the increase in positive COVID-19 cases within our NHS trust and to help protect our patients and colleagues during this time.

We are sorry that we have had to introduce this change once again and thank you for your continued understanding and support.

I write this status with a very heavy heart 💔

I have received an email this morning informing me of the sudden death of Dr Barry Moyse. Many people knew him and I know this will be sad news to all.

It is difficult to put into words the sense of shock that this has caused and it is almost impossible to think of the world without him in it.

I’m sure you will all join us in sending thoughts and prayers to his family at this, most difficult time.’

I will update further when more information is given.
