Guidance on childcare
Due to the ever-changing situation and responsive guidelines, we thought it would be useful to re-issue the Trust’s guidance on childcare to support staff affected by childcare issues
This applies where children are sent home from school or nursery due to COVID-19 where another child is symptomatic or has tested positive.

The Grand Round on Thursday 1 October will be on COVID-19 testing and will be presented by Dr Craig Webster.
The webinar will run from 13:00 — 14:00 in Lecture Theatre 3 at QEHB.
