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 />
