Dear All
I am aware that many of you are being asked to perform additional duties as we face high numbers of covid in-patient admissions. This is on the background of a challenging and exhausting year for everyone; personal concerns, exam and rotation disruptions, inability to access training opportunities as the NHS repeatedly shifts focus from elective work to pandemic response.
Your TPDs will endeavour to allocate lost training opportunities when life resembles normality again. We expect to continue issuing covid – 10 outcomes at ARCPs next month and in the summer.
In the meantime, once again, the balance of training and service shifts towards service as your employers organise their departments to cope. Thank you for your continued hard work in supporting us all.
With very kind regards and wishing you all a better 2021
Catherine Shaw
Regional advisor
