Measles alert

Measles can be dangerous. This is why we currently have visitor restrictions in place in maternity.

No children under the age of 16 are allowed in inpatient areas. Avoid bringing children to outpatient appointments where possible.

Please ask all your visitors to stay at home if they could have measles or have been in contact with some who has or could have measles.

If you are pregnant and sick or concerned, call your LMC for advice.

The symptoms of measles are a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, then a rash.

Call Healthline free on 0800 611 116 for health advice and information, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
