NHS England policy that most medics and patients are 'no longer asked' to have a Covid test, even if symptomatic, has faced criticism

NHS England policy that most medics and patients are ‘no longer asked’ to have a Covid test, even if symptomatic, has faced criticism

“In line with national guidance, staff should NOT be taking LFDs . Instead, they should respond to their own symptoms and stay at home if they feel unwell. Testing for Covid can result in having to remain at home for longer than their symptoms persist.” However, scientists and medics have criticised the policy saying it puts immunosuppressed patients who attend A&E in danger.

“That they then force people to sacrifice their own leave/pay as a result is just shocking. Moreover, I’ve long been contacted by patients and their families that worry about the safety of their outpatient appointments. Even if precautions are taken, it’s only in the ward/clinic, not the communal areas and lifts needed to get there.”due to record vacancies and continuing strike action.
