Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is reminding emergency and urgent walk-in patients to enter the hospital via the Urgent Treatment Centre.
At the centre, patients will be triaged at the door by a Clinical Navigator who will signpost them to the right place for their care.
This could be the Emergency Department, Urgent Treatment Centre or an assessment unit.

Any patient arriving at the hospital in an ambulance will be taken straight to the Emergency Department via the current ambulance route to the rear of the hospital.
The Urgent Treatment Centre is currently only open from 7am to 10pm.
A trust spokesperson said: "If a patient arrives to the hospital as an urgent or emergency walk-in outside of these hours, they will need to use a new out-of-hours entrance, which is located at the west entrance of the hospital, directly adjacent to the Urgent Treatment Centre."
