5 Staff who are self-isolating

5.1 If a healthcare professional needs to self-isolate, ensure that they can continue to help by: 

  • enabling telephone or video consultations and attendance at multidisciplinary team meetings

  • identifying patients who are suitable for remote monitoring and follow up and those who are vulnerable and need support

  • carrying out tasks that can be done remotely, such as entering data.

5.2 Support staff to keep in touch as much as possible, to support their mental wellbeing.
