COVID-19 Update

Good afternoon everybody,

 

Unfortunately due to a rise in COVID cases we have been advised by Public Health England to reinstate some COVID restrictions for a one week period (11th July – 17th July 2022).

 

With immediate effect please may we ask all staff to follow the below guidance;

  • All Hospice and Vinten Place staff to do daily lateral flow testing and report online
  • Mask wearing is required within the main Hospice building at all times unless sat at a workstation
  • All Vinten Place staff to minimise activity in the main Hospice building
  • All visitors to take a lateral flow test prior to arrival
  • If you have a visitor planned, please speak to Luke as this will be reviewed on a case by case basis

 

Please remember that at present these are temporary measures and unless cases continue to rise we will revert back to business as usual on Monday 18th July 2022.

 

If you require more lateral flow test kits, please collect from myself in HR, or there are numerous kits available in the Care Team office pod.

Kind regards,

Ben
