Hi Theresa
Certainly will when fully compiled, work in progress at the moment and many changes were implemented today which need to be added in. Playing catch up.
I have also communicated the following to the control centre here at the hospital to avoid misunderstanding, miscommunication and delays:
'The point of care testing (POCT) team based in the Pathology Laboratories support the provision of all analytical devices used to provide care at the patient bedside. We understand the urgent need to repurpose locations within the Trust for the management of COVID-19 patients, and the team is doing its very best to support these requests.
To support this it is imperative that the POCT team know the following:
•The plan to repurpose areas as COVID-19 zones at the earliest opportunity
•Requirements for blood gas analysis at these sites to support monitoring of respiratory illness
•Availability of clinical educators (aka cascade/link trainers) to train new or redeployed staff in using blood gas analysers. POCT team members will not be able to enter the isolation units, and staff working in those areas are not likely to be able to leave to receive training elsewhere
•IT connectivity is an absolute requirement to ensure the electronic patient record captures the results. This requires live IT data ports and may require Trust ICT team involvement'
