For many, taking a bunch of flowers to a sick loved one in hospital is the perfect way to say ‘get well soon’.
But now, University Hospital of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust has implemented a no-flower rule in the interests of the safety of its patients, visitors and staff.
In a move in line with the majority of other acute Trusts nationally, hospitals across Morecambe Bay is now calling on the support of the public to not bring flowers into its hospitals.
Sue Smith, Executive Chief Nurse, said it was a heavy-hearted decision but one the Trust strongly feels will help to prevent avoidable infections and reduce the risk of harm.
