Medical Ward 1 reopened to new admissions

Medical Ward 1 in Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway has reopened to new admissions. The ward had been closed on July 16 after a number of positive cases of COVID-19 were linked to the ward.  

Standard visiting arrangements have now been reinstated as detailed at: www.wihb.scot.nhs.uk/i-am-a-visitor/welcome/ 

We would like to thank everyone for their cooperation and understanding over the past couple of weeks.
