Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

As announced by NHS Wales in March, St Joseph's Hospital joined the national response to Covid-19. We were proud to assist the NHS in this way - uniting across the healthcare sector has never been so important for patients.  

This support is no longer needed and we have returned St Joseph’s back to private practice. To discover more about the protective measures we have put in place to keep you safe click here.

We are offering face to face and virtual consultations with our leading specialists, giving you fast access to expert healthcare advice during the current Covid-19 restrictions.

Caring for you

It's our duty of care to ensure that we take every precaution to keep our patients and employees safe during this time. The government have issued the following guidance which we’d ask you to follow.

To support screening for COVID-19, we are asking all patients, on entering our hospital to:

• Attend for routine temperature monitoing which will be undertaken by a member of staff
• Maintaining safe distances – please observe the safe distance instructions within the hospital. The current stipulated distance is 2m according to public health guidance.  

Please do not enter St Joseph’s Hospital if you:

• Have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19
• Are living with someone who is self-isolating.
• Have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) such as a new continuous cough, high temperature (of 37.8 degrees centigrade or higher), or loss or change of your sense of smell or taste.

Admitted patients and outpatients will not be permitted visitors at any time. Free WiFi is available for patients to contact friends and family remotely.

If you need to contact the hospital, please call 01633 820 300 or  hello@stjosephshospital.co.uk

The guidance advises that you should stay at home (self-isolate), regardless of your travel history or contact with confirmed cases. This will help protect others while you are infectious.

Public Health Wales government guidance can be found here.

We are currently screening all patients and restricting visitor access to St Joseph’s Hospital.

We can all reduce the risk of both picking up and spreading infection and disease by maintaining good hand hygiene.

For patients and members of the public seeking information on coronavirus and COVID-19 you can find valuable advice and an informative overview of the situation at NHS page or GOV.UK

Thank you for your cooperation.
