New covid-19 practice protocol

The following advice has been issued 

From the government website

People with the following health issues are considered a RED FLAG

The gov advice states if you are in the category of being clinically extremely vulnerable, you will be following existing advice on shielding and so sadly, for the time being you cannot come in for treatments. This list is not exhaustive but includes the following:  

Organ transplant recipients

Any-one receiving treatment from cancer

Serious lung condition or respiratory stress

Rare diseases, or blood disorders such as circulatory complaints – DVT, Micro-circulatory complications, Micro embolisms, CVA or PE. 

Post-operative patients 

Pregnancy with complications of any sort.

Bone marrow patients

People taking high doses of steroids

Any- one with a suppressed immune system

Anyone who is shielding a vulnerable family member and you are considered as the main carer, you should not come in.

Any-one working on the front-line such as NHS staff and carers in case you are a carrier of covid-19. This is ultra-precautionary at this crucial stage and I hope this will only be short term.

The following people are considered clinically vulnerable: this is defined as the ownness being on you to take care and is classed as a moderate risk. This category of people includes:

Anyone aged 70 years or over 

If you have had major heart issues

Insulin dependent diabetics.

If you have a BMI over 39

Any-one who has been in contact with someone with Covid-19
