COVID Guidance

I’m sure you will all by now be aware of the government’s plans for ‘Living with Covid’ as we move forward during the next few months.

However, the guidance that has been issued so far does not apply to healthcare settings although we are expecting updates at some stage over the next couple of weeks. Therefore, with the support of David, the SMT and Senior Care Team it has been agreed that all current COVID policies and procedures  at Derian will remain in place until at least the 31st March. This will give us the opportunity to carefully review the new guidance issued and plan the effective implementation of any changes that we are able to make.

I don’t think any of us ever thought that we’d be living and working with such restrictions  for 2 years and I can’t thank everyone enough for their understanding and support through this challenging time, we are nearly through this now  but I do want to reassure you that the decisions we make to lift restrictions when we can will be taken in the best interests of the children, young people and their families as well as all our team.

If you have any questions or want to discuss anything further then please just ask either myself or any of the senior team.

Kind Regards

Lynn

Director of Clinical Services
