Following a review by the local Incident Management Team at the QEUH, and further review by a group of senior medical, nursing and infection prevention and control staff, older peoples’ wards in Gartnavel General Hospital will move to one named visitor per patient on Monday 29 November.
Patients who do not have COVID-19 will be able to choose one named visitor.
The revision to hospital visiting arrangements applies to all older peoples’ wards in Gartnavel General Hospital (namely 2A, 4C, 8A and 8C).
Visiting arrangements in the rest of Gartnavel General Hospital will continue to be as follows:
- Wards of other specialties (for example, medical, surgical, or regional) will retain a person centred approach to visiting.
- COVID Hubs will continue to be utilised to cohort and safely care for patients and will continue to be restricted to ‘essential visits only’.

Please speak to ward staff to find out more about the current visiting arrangements in that ward, and to arrange a visit if possible.
