Allow both parents to attend a hospital appointment with their child
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both parents of a child I.e. mother and father are not allowed inside a hospital for their child’s appointment. Only one adult is allowed to be with the child. This includes in ambulances and in A&E.
Going to hospital with your child for an appointment or for an emergency can be a very stressful experience. Especially as a new parent in 2020.
Please allow both parents to go inside the hospital and be with the child. Both parents deserve to be by the child’s side.
It is difficult to deal with doctors and nurses while your child is in an uncomfortable situation.
Please review the policy & advise hospitals accordingly.
