COVID-19 Vaccination Programme in the Northern Trust

Northern Trust Services

Coronavirus will be with us for some time, and this will change the way we provide many of those services. Some of the factors that will influence service delivery are: the need to ensure that effective infection control measures are in place; the need for effective social distancing, wherever possible; the availability of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE); the availability of staff; and, budgetary constraints

Details regarding all our services and contact telephone numbers are provided within our A-Z Guide. Please note staff may call from a withheld number, if you think it could be us please pick up.
In light of disruption, our staff are doing things differently. Some parts of our service are connecting virtually with service users using a video-calling service called ZOOM.

How to access and set up ZOOM

Cancellation of elective procedures and clinics

This will be kept under review but has involved the cancellation of some non-urgent elective procedures. Anyone impacted has been contacted directly. If you have not been contacted, please attend your appointment as normal.

Outpatient Appointments

Please remember the hospital visiting policy when attending Outpatient Appointments and, if it is possible, please only attend by yourself (in the case of adults).
