Healthy North Coast has released a range of communications to ensure GPs in RACFs are ready for a COVID outbreak during the festive season.
Firstly our Are You Ready checklists:
Please print and keep handy over summer!
All GPs working in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) will receive an email outlining either who the GP Team Leader is for the facility or, where no GP has volunteered, Healthy North Coasts’ Bron McCrae, Deputy Director Healthy Living and Ageing, will provide a coordinating role between GPs and the RACF.
GP Team Leaders will receive their induction and instruction packs this week.
We genuinely hope the materials will not be needed over the festive season, however if We Are Ready we will minimise transmission into the community.
Happy festive season, everyone.
