In this week’s staff message, Heather gives her usual update on the Covid-19 cases in Lanarkshire. The number of new cases on Wednesday was 1949 and there were 161 inpatients across the three acute hospitals which is trending up. We are seeing a longer length of stay with this group of inpatients which is causing flow difficulties through hospital. Essential visiting has been reintroduced to the reduce the potential to spread the virus.
The NHS Lanarkshire vaccination team will start to vaccinate the five to 11 year-olds at the start of April. If you know anyone with a child of this age, please encourage them to get their child vaccinated.
Heather ends by speaking about the Your Health Matters – Your Opinion Counts which goes live from Monday 14 March. This is an opportunity for staff to share us their experiences and give us their views on what has helped them manage their health and wellbeing and what staff supports would be beneficial going forward. It is important that all staff should take the time to have their say, so that we know how best to support their wellbeing.
