Miss Wyatt’s clinics and surgical lists are proceeding as they were pre-pandemic.
The Portland Hospital would prefer only one parent to accompany their child for appointments/admission but this is no longer mandatory and two may attend.
I know many parents have concerns about their child coming into hospital for an operation in the current climate. The Portland Hospital and I are dedicated to safe and quality care and these are some of the steps we are taking to ensure this:
Extra infection prevention measures – increased hand sanitiser/hand-washing stations; clinical areas deep cleaned regularly.
Social distancing – online pre-registration by HCA is carried out to avoid queues at reception.
