We have temporarily changed our visiting arrangements to help respond to coronavirus and protect our staff, visitors and patients. We know that it’s important for our patients to see family and friends and if face to face visiting is not able to take place, we will work with patients to facilitate video calls where possible.
With immediate effect all wards across UHDB (including Derby Private Health), with the exception of Maternity, Paediatrics and Emergency Department, will restrict visiting unless the patient is receiving end of life care. All vulnerable patients, specifically those with learning disabilities, dementia, mental health or complex needs, as well as those who are unable to make decisions for themselves, may be accompanied by their carer/s.
