Clinics for oncology and palliative care, orthopaedic trauma, infusion, antenatal and colposcopy are not cancelled.

Virtual clinics are also unaffected as are physiotherapy appointments, scans and procedures for cardiology out-patients, and imaging and procedures for radiology out-patients.

Otherwise, people should not attend scheduled outpatient and elective surgery appointments unless they have been contacted by UHK.

The cancellations are due to COVID-19, including its impact on hospital staff.

UHK says it's working to provide an early rescheduling of dates for cancelled appointments.
