South Tyneside  Covid Testing

14/4/2020

0 Comments

 
On yesterday’s call we agreed the process for rolling out staff testing to care home, domiciliary care and pharmacy staff. The service will be based at Stanhope Parade Medical Centre. We anticipate that the service will run between 10:00-17:00 Monday – Sunday.
 
Testing for Coronavirus is offered to staff self-isolating due to possible infection or household infection, but who are otherwise well enough to return to work. The test is requested by the employer as an occupational health intervention to speed return to work. Please note that the staff member has to be registered with a South Tyneside GP to meet agreed criteria for testing.
 
Organisations will have to follow the guidance set out in the attached SOP and will have to complete the attached form to request a test. Hopefully we have created a governance and administrative system to ensure that the right people get access to the testing in a timely manner.

    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.
