Gateshead update - some testing is starting

1/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Hi all, This is interesting as it shows they are starting to test GPs in N-G with symptoms...with other heath professionals in a few days.

TESTING!

We are now in a position to test front line GPs who are practicing in Newcastle and Gateshead and are currently symptomatic and in self –isolation.
 
GPs MUST be symptomatic (day 3 of symptoms) with either:
-          Temperature above 37.8 OR
-          New , continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual).

    PCN Comms

    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.
