Update posted: July 2020
To support the increased demand for critical care due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trust has made a number of temporary changes to our children and young people’s services to ensure that staff can be redeployed to areas where they are most needed and patient safety is not compromised. These changes are in line with NHS England and Government guidelines.
These changes include the temporary suspension of NCMP and vision screening services. Further guidance will follow.
