COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues, and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. While COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination.
