St Peter’s Hospital has introduced a series of measures to ensure you are kept safe during your visit.
- There are 3 designated entrances:
- Main Entrance - Endoscopy, Neurophysiology, MRI, Respiratory physiology, Cardiac physiology, Radiology, Dermatology.
- Duchess of Kent - staff entrance, SAU.
- Abbey Wing - Women’s and Children’s services
- You will be only permitted into the building 10 minutes before your appointment time.
- Please try and attend your hospital visit by yourself. Anyone attending with you is likely to be refused entry to the hospital / asked to wait in the car unless there is a valid reason for them to support you during your appointment.
- Inside each entrance is a ‘screening’ station. You will be asked a series of COVID related screening questions. To avoid a wasted trip on the day please do not attend if you are experiencing a fever, fatigue, cough or sore throat or currently taking antipyretic medication to combat fever (paracetamol / ibuprofen etc).
- You will be asked to use one of the hand sanitising dispensers on arrival and you will be provided with a face mask, if you have worn a mask you will be asked to remove and either dispose of it or store it in your bag/pockets.
- A member of staff will obtain your temperature;
- If “green” indicating your temperature is below 37.8 you will be able to proceed to your appointment
- If “red” a second temperature will be taken on a different thermometer
- If second “red” you will be advised of this and the fact that you may not be able to proceed with their appointment. You will be directed to an area of privacy and the service with whom your appointment is with will be contacted for their advice. If the appointment needs to be postponed, you will be asked to return home with the recommendation and contact 111, if necessary for further advice. The department with whom you had your appointment will arrange a new appointment
- If queuing for entry to the hospital, the screening desk, a reception desk or sitting in one of the waiting areas please maintain at least a 2 metre distance from any other patient.
- We have reduced the number of patients booked into each session to allow time for the additional screening measures.
- Finally, although you are not required to self-isolate for this appointment, please ensure you minimise contact with others as much as possible in the 14 days leading up to your appointment.
Please support St Peter’s Hospital in following the guidance written above and in doing so helping to keep patients and staff safe.
