COVID - 19: Changes to Maternity Service - 25 March 2020

In line with guidance from Scottish Government to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and to protect and safeguard patients and staff we are making changes to the ways in which we deliver our Maternity service.

We appreciate these measures may cause some anxiety and inconvenience, but this is a highly unusual situation.

At this current time pregnant women should only attend for appointments on their own.

Please attend for appointments no more than 5 minutes before.

Following your appointment please leave immediately and return home.

If you are unable to attend your appointment or are unwell, please call us on 888238

We thank you for your understanding at this time.
