COVID-19 information for patients and visitors

Please contact the ward before visiting as restrictions may apply.

We ask all visitors to clean their hands with gel in all our buildings. Even when someone has been fully vaccinated and despite relaxations of restrictions in the community.

Please do not come to UCLH if you have COVID-19 symptoms.

  • If you urgently need medical help or advice but it is not a life-threatening situation, or if you don’t know who to ring, call NHS 111. 
  • If it’s a serious or life-threatening emergency, call 999.
  • If you are told to go to hospital it is important that you go to hospital.
  • If you need medical help from your GP practice, contact them either online, by an app or by phone to be assessed.

You should continue to attend your appointments unless you have been told not to attend. Please attend all appointments and the emergency department (A&E) alone unless you have a designated carer that needs to assist you.

If you have an appointment but are experiencing any of the COVID-19 symptoms inform your clinical team immediately and do not come to the hospital.

NHS 111 Online and the NHS website offer the most up-to-date resources for people who suspect they have caught coronavirus, or are looking for more information on COVID-19. Please contact NHS 111 or the NHS website to learn more.
