Our Adult Mental Health and Disability Directorate are promoting their self-help anxiety reduction application (SHARA) as a tool to help people suffering from anxiety. SHARA is aimed at reducing mild anxiety in the comfort of your own home and was designed not just by mental health professionals but with input from other healthcare professions, service users and student nurses from the Ulster University.

Due to high levels of respiratory illness circulating in the community, all staff, patients and visitors to our Emergency Departments, ward/clinical areas where additional infection control measures are required, Community Settings and Treatment Rooms, are being asked to wear face masks.

We would also like to take the opportunity to remind the public that they should not visit hospital or community settings if they or any of their family at home has vomiting, diarrhoea, coughs, cold, flu or any other infectious conditions. Please wait until at least 48 hours or two days from symptoms have ended before you visit the hospital.

Hand hygiene is the most important method of preventing and controlling the spread of infections and it is extremely important that all visitors wash their hands with liquid soap and water before and after visiting. Alcohol hand sanitiser can also be used.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
