NHS Guidance and Support
As doctors we all have general responsibilities in relation to
COVID-19 and for these we should seek out and act upon national and
local guidelines. These are constantly evolving, and we should
adhere to the latest advice available (which may change from the
information posted here). Guidance from NHSI/E and
PHE is being frequently updated as the national caseload
and required response in evolving.
Your Trust will have an Incident Management Team in place and
will have plans on what activity continues in light of pressure on
services and staffing. Please consult with your local management
team.We would encourage you to visit
www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19 for the
latest information on COVID-19, to find out what the symptoms are
and how to help prevent the spread.
