Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
Mercy University Hospital Status Update, 4th March, 2022
SPECIFICALLY:
OUTPATIENT CLINICS
The Outpatient department continues to run essential face to face clinics, taking into account infection control and public health guidance. Some patient consultations are now taking place via telephone and/or video calls.
Please attend your outpatient clinic appointment unless the Hospital contacts you directly to arrange otherwise.
To ensure patient safety and to comply with social distancing, please do not arrive early for your appointment but arrive on time.
Patients are asked not to visit the hospital for an outpatient appointment if they have symptoms of Covid-19 and to instead contact their GP
INPATIENTS/DAY CASES
Elective and day case procedures will continue for emergency and urgent, time sensitive procedures and care, taking into account infection control and public health guidance. Patients will be contacted directly by the hospital regarding admission.
Please do not attend your inpatient or day case procedure appointment unless the hospital contacts you directly and provides you with a specific appointment.
*** IMPORTANT *** - PLEASE NOTE
MUH has taken the difficult decision to limit routine visiting on inpatient wards due to the increase in the number of patients in hospital with COVID-19.
The hospital acknowledges that these visiting restrictions are difficult for patients, their family and friends but are putting these measures in place to protect patients, visitors and staff and to ensure that the hospital can continue to provide vital services for all patients.
Visiting on compassionate grounds and for particular patient care needs will be facilitated through the ward manager.
