Dear GP colleagues,
We thought it would be useful to reshare the national guidance from the Department of Health and Social Care. This sets out what practices need to do in the case of a patient presenting with potential coronavirus symptoms.
You can download the guidance from the DHSC website by following this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/wn-cov-guidance-for-primary-care/wn-cov-interim-guidance-for-primary-care
We would remind you also that a new inbox has been set up by the NEL CCGs as a contact point for all issues and questions relating to coronavirus in north east London: thccg.nelcoronavirus@nhs.net
This will be monitored from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday so issues can be promptly raised and responses provided as soon as possible.
Please could you ensure that this email address has been shared with all your relevant staff and teams.
Urgent operational issues and media enquiries should continue to be raised through the usual channels.
Thank for your continued support and for your help in providing reassurance to your staff and patients.
