Where can I find guidance regarding work that should be undertaken by individuals considered to be at risk of severe COVID-19 illness?


NES has a responsibility to ensure staff health and safety at work. There are two groups of people considered to be at risk of severe COVID-19 illness. A risk assessment has been developed by Occupational Health colleagues which can be carried out by Supervisors/Clinical Leads to assist in assessing and controlling the risks to health specifically for those in these groups. This risk assessment should be undertaken with the member of staff. The risk assessment can be accessed here.

Occupational Health can be contacted on nss.occupationalhealth@nhs.net if required.
