Family Liaison team
HELPING YOU TO KEEP IN TOUCH!
In order to prevent the spread of COVID 19 The Trust has had to restrict visitors to the hospitals.
The trust realises how important it is for families to keep in touch especially when they are in hospital, and have developed the Family Liaison team who will;
- Help patients make contact with their families/friends/carers
- Provide communication media such as video calls for patients and their families
- Sit with patients who may be feeling lonely
- Arrange for a patient’s personal belongings to be brought to them as necessary
- Pass messages from patients to family members
Operating hours
9am-8pm, 7 days a week
