On a recent routine appointment at Kirkwall’s Balfour Hospital Nick Morrison noticed a few changes. The protective measures are in place to reassure both visitors and patients that during the Covid19 pandemic,  the NHS in Orkney is open and safe.

Here’s Nick’s photos and comments from his visit.

Signage for the one way system is very clear.

The Balfour has also introduced hand sanitisation stations between floors.

The orange bin is for disposable masks on exiting the Hospital.
