We have reviewed our current guidance on staff testing and isolation. Please see the most up to date version of the flowchart (dated 18.4.23) which includes some updated guidance for reporting absence relating to COVID-19 and  working in ​high-risk areas / specialist areas.

Please note:  The COVID advice line is now closed. All COVID-19 related absences should be reported to your line manager / person in charge. Doctors in training should continue to report all sickness absence (including COVID-19) via the Medical Roster Team. The team is available Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 4.30pm on 0191 202 4038. Out-of-hours they should contact the switchboard and speak to the site manager.Staff testing and isolation 17.04.23.PNG
