Message from CCG
As you will have seen in the media, the national and local response to COVID 19 is increasing. As part of preparation to expand availability of staff trained to undertake swabbing of potential COVID 19 cases please could you discuss with your teams as we are likely to need volunteer clinicians to undertake the required training to do so. Anyone who does wish to volunteer will also be provided with appropriate equipment.
In addition – we also need to identify admin staff who could support the Local Coordination Centre activity (which is likely to be hosted by Durham CCG’s IPC team).
If you can please let the ccg know whether you are willing to volunteer and we will keep a register should this be required.
We need to move quite quickly with this as we anticipate a surge in the need for community swabbing in the coming few days and are in discussions with the IPC teams to facilitate training.
I have limited information at the moment but as things become clearer I will keep you informed. I will keep you updated, as this is likely to be a fast moving situation, but I wanted to let you know the ‘ask’ ASAP.
Many thanks
