Social mixing now allowed
Good morning everyone,
Following the government announcements and easing of lockdown, we are pleased to say we are putting measures in place to allow more social mixing from Monday (17th May 2021).
All staff will now be on the lateral flow testing programme and therefore mixing between Vinten Place and the Hospice is allowed aside from the children’s bedroom corridors.
If you have not yet received your box of lateral flow tests at the time of reading this email, please see me ASAP and do not socially mix between buildings until you have begun your testing programme.
There are certain restrictions that need to remain in order to keep our children, young people and families safe therefore please may I ask all staff to familiarise themselves with the Covid-19 Building Risk Assessment and the associated Covid Safe Building Guidance document available on the intranet.
When moving between buildings we ask everyone to continue to follow the rules including;
- Wearing a mask
- Washing your hands upon entry to the Hospice
- Sanitise your hands upon entry to Vinten Place
- No entry to clinical areas
- Maintain social distancing
Thank you everyone for your commitment and hard work. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to speak to myself or Luke Bateson.
