RESPIRATORS<br />

When caring for patients with suspected or<br />

confirmed infectious respiratory virus, all the<br />

healthcare workers need to - prior to any patient<br />

interaction - assess the infectious risk posed to<br />

themselves and wear the appropriate respiratory<br />

protective equipment (RPE) to minimise that risk.<br />

“We at LTHT are always looking at improving<br />

our patients journey and equipping staff with the<br />

appropriate resources to achieve this. One of the<br />

areas we have invested time and effort in is respiratory<br />

protection. We collaboratively worked with <strong>Full</strong><br />

<strong>Support</strong>, a UK base company who recently provided<br />

us with a team of Fit2Fit accredited Clinical Specialists<br />

who were available to deliver advice and educational<br />

support on the correct respiratory protection to meet<br />

the needs of our staff. Having a diverse range of<br />

needs it was good to find a supplier that understood<br />

our legal obligations and help us fulfil them.”<br />

known/suspected to have an infection spread via the aerosol route or<br />

when caring for patients known/suspected to be infected with a newly<br />
