Only one visitor for each patient is allowed per day at Queen’s and King George Hospitals, according to their latest guidelines.
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) today (Wednesday, March 18) tweeted out the latest changes to its policy for visitors to the hospitals, in Romford and Goodmayes.
These state that all patients may only have one visitor per day, which must be the same person.
Only the birthing partner is allowed to accompany women in the maternity department, while the visiting hours at the two hospitals are now from 3pm to 6pm.
The trust also said that only one person for each patient is allowed to accompany them to emergency departments, all assessment units and outpatient departments.
