Blaydon Hot Site

1/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Please note that the new Blaydon Covid19 hot-site is starting today. 

In essence anyone with suspected Covid19 symptoms will be seen by suitably protected staff member at this Blaydon site. 

On the rare occasion when medication is required, a Rx token will be printed in a separate protected room and emailed to the Gateshead pharmacy of choice using NHS mail. 

The actual Rx token will be then posted out to the pharmacy. 

The request from the Blaydon hot-site prescribers is that pharmacies look at their pharmacy NHS mail regularly - and dispense from this where possible, recognising that the actual prescription will be in the post.

Note:- No CDs will be sent in this way, it will only be some salbutamol inhalers or antibiotics etc.

These are difficult times and pragmatic decisions need to be taken.

Kind Regards

    As a result of COVID 19 we adapted our communications strategy to use the PCN leads to cascade information.  This enabled us to act nimbly.

    This page will act as a repository of all those communications.

    Pharmacy Contractors can use this as a reference resources.

    Please note many of the communique comprised of quick messages that  will  be posted here as they were sent out.
