We continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation in Tower Hamlets and more widely in London. We are pleased to see there has been some improvement, but will wait for levels to come down further before re-opening the Mosque for prayers.

Staying in contact with loved ones in hospital

The Royal London Hospital has launched a new and improved family contact centre, to offer increased support to families who have a loved one in hospital.  The centre is expanding to cover all wards across the hospital, with a larger multi-disciplinary team including clinical leads and chaplains, and a central phone line and email contact. 

The family contact centre will be a key point of contact for families, to help ensure they are supported and updated about their relatives’ condition and wellbeing. 

The centre can speak with the clinical team about concerns and questions, help arrange end of life visits, language support, dropping off items and food, spiritual and religious support, booking virtual visits and sending photos and messages to loved ones.

The Family Contact Centre aims to provide proactive updates to families every 48 hours, but a named contact person or next of kin can also get in contact with the team.

• Email [email protected](please provide the patient’s name, DOB, MRN if available and your contact number)
• Phone 0203 594 2040 (the phone line is open 9am to 5pm, proactive updates will be provided between 2pm-5pm)
• Open 7 days a week.
