Clean hospitals
We work hard to ensure our hospitals are as clean as possible and added extra measures in 2020 to ensure your safety.
All our public areas including wards, clinics and reception areas are cleaned throughout the day and we carry out weekly inspections of all areas to ensure high standards are maintained. Our cleaners are trained in infection control procedures and our infection control team monitor the wards to check their cleanliness.
However, if you consider that any of our hospital areas are not as clean as they could be, please contact us.
Speak to the ward manager while you are in our care so we can sort out any issues immediately.
Or you can contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS):
