Infection control It is essential for you to play a key role in preventing the spread of micro-organisms (germs) while you are in hospital. Here are a few key actions you can take to make this happen. Hand hygiene – Hand washing before and after meals, after using the toilet or at anytime your hands are unclean. Cough etiquette – If coughing or sneezing use a tissue, dispose of it in a bin and wash your hands. Your environment – Please let our staff know if your environment e.g. bed or bathroom area is unclean or if you see something that you feel does not meet our high infection prevention standards. One of the main ways infections are spread in a hospital is through contact with others. Visitors – If your visitors are sick e.g. vomiting and/or diarrhoea, please ask them to stay home until they have been well for two days. If in doubt, discuss with the clinical staff. Sharing with others – Do not share your belongings, such as toiletries, clothes and other items with other patients. Interacting with others – While you are a patient you are free to interact with others, however make sure you don’t sit on another patient bed. Your co-operation in helping us to maintain a high standard of infection control is appreciated.

Take the lift to the Maternity Ward on the second floor, turn left out of the lifts and a midwife or clerical person will meet you and escort you down to the Birthing Suites.
