Would any member be prepared to share any protocols or policies they have for visitor restrictions specifically for a haematology or bone marrow transplant ward or unit with immunosuppressed patients. We are particularly interested in any ‘no children’ (at all policies). This has arisen as a result of a recent Pertussis outbreak.
Kind regards
Ruth

Hi Ruth,
here at Nepean we are just looking into a number of policies particularly as we are encroaching on flu season.
There are a number of practice changes we are looking at including:
1) Locked ward with video intercom to be buzzed in, to minimise unecessary traffic.
2) A sign in book for visitors, & one for staff to track visitors to the ward, with a declaration of wellness.
3) Age restrictions for children (Slightly controvertial) & would need to be flexible.
4) Increased use of surgical masks for people displaying any viral type signs or symptoms.
This is all just prelimanary at this stage.
Regards,
Che Jarvis
