Infection Prevention Control Guidelines and Visiting
In line with national guidance, our infection prevention control guidelines and hospital visiting guidance are set to remain in place for all staff and visitors.
Please visit our Coronavirus pages for more detail about our current guidelines. More information can be found here.
It’s #NotTooMuchToMask
As a Trust, we are supporting the national #NotTooMuchToMask campaign which aims to encourage us all to continue to be cautious, despite lockdown and legal restrictions being lifted. The campaign focuses on asking everyone to continue to wear facemasks when in public, maintain good hand hygiene, keep areas well ventilated and to meet outside where possible, to undertake contract tracing and of course to take up the offer of both doses of the vaccination.
Across our hospital sites, there has been no change to our current Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures or visiting restrictions. We continue to maintain best IPC practice across all areas of the hospital sites, not just wards and clinics, in line with national guidance.

Road Map for ASPH Visiting from Monday 17th May
The Government Roadmap is on track and planned Step 3 easements will go ahead on 17 May. The data shows that the government’s “four tests” for easing restrictions have been met.
We are pleased to announce that visitors will be allowed into St. Peter’s site in a controlled manner from Monday 17 May 2021. The roadmap highlights the changes for each of the patient groups.
There will be a dedicated telephone line manned by 1 volunteer for visitors to book a time to see their loved one. This telephone line will be manned Monday to Friday 9.30am - 4pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am - 4pm. The number is 01932 723318. If any visitors need to book a visiting slot outside of those hours they will need to contact the relevant ward direct. (Please click here for list of ward numbers).
Any patients who have a registered carer may have a daily visit of up to 1 hour. This includes the patient groups of learning difficulties and severe dementia. Remaining Adult inpatients may have 3 visits per week for 1 hour and this will be one visitor only per session, but can be a different person each time. No children or babies will be allowed.
There is one slot available every day for each bed/patient.
Children’s wards, maternity, A&E and ITU are managing the situation locally as highlighted in the roadmap.
Ashford hospital will not be allowing inpatient visiting at the moment. Please phone 01784 884488 if you are enquiring about a patient.
This situation will be constantly reviewed and further visiting changes may occur depending on Covid incidence within our community and also transmission rates.
Many thanks,
Andrea Lewis RRC
Chief Nurse
