Patient facing NHS workers

[keeponrunning85]

Any other patient facing NHS workers out there who've managed to get clear advice from their trust about what to do?

I get the distinct impression that mine are expecting me to make the decision. Have a meeting planned with my line manager tomorrow morning to discuss. I'm a consultant so that majority of my job is clinical. There's limited work I could do remotely/over the phone but I am happy to carry on working if I can.

In my trust it states come to work if well, but pregnant and immunocompromised staff have not to have any direct contact with confirmed or query covid cases.

New guidance for pregnant healthcare staff published today

The new RCOG guidance is absolutely disgusting. There is absolutely zero evidence to back up their claims and I cannot believe they are taking such a risk with pregnant HCPs - we apparently are second class citizens and are being used as cannon fodder compared to pregnant lay people who are protected. What is their rationale for the different advice for the 2 groups other than prop up the NHS? This is a grave misjudging for the very people they should be protecting and they should be ashamed of themselves.
