Norovirus is a stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea. It can be very unpleasant, but can usually be treated at home with plenty of rest and fluids.

Norovirus spreads very easily. Please stay away from healthcare settings until fully recovered, unless it is an emergency.

Eid Mubarak to our colleagues and friends who are celebrating, as Ramadan comes to an end. 🌙

May this Eid bring peace, happiness and prosperity to everyone.

We wish you a blessed and joyous time celebrating to mark the end of this holy month. 💙

Our hospitals are extremely busy and our staff are working tirelessly to care for patients. Annie, Head of Nursing for Patient Flow and Integrated Discharge, explains how you can help. 💙
