* HEALTHCARE WORKERS WITH LONG COVID *

Does your employer deny your disease was 'occupational exposure'? Refused to report under RIDDOR?

A Safety Practitioner's view on how RIDDOR should have been applied to Covid-19 infections of HCWs.

NB Important - See notes in next tweet Image
The Flow Diagram in the previous tweet should be read in conjunction with these accompanying notes which give further details, explain its limitations and explain the rationale behind it.
You can download the flow diagram + notes as a single PDF file.

Further details, together with resources that HCWs with Long Covid may find helpful can be found at this article on the ‘Patient Safety Learning Hub’

The extent of RIDDOR under-reporting (or I should say "zero-reporting ! ") by NHS Trusts in England and NHS Boards in Wales during the first and second waves is laid bare by a colleague's massive Freedom of Information survey. Image

@kallmemeg @BylineTimes As one of the researchers in the BLT article, I assure you there is nothing ‘fake’ about this article.

Therefore please address your comments to me, not BLT.

My response to your dismissive tweet:
1) RIDDOR was NOT revoked and has REMAINED IN FORCE throughout the pandemic.

#1
@kallmemeg @BylineTimes 2) HSE guidance throughout the pandemic has been that deaths arising from occupational exposure to Covid-19 MUST be reported to them.

3) NHS-Employers guidance also required deaths to be reported to HSE under RIDDOR (over and above CPNS).

#2
@kallmemeg @BylineTimes 4) RIDDOR is the LAW OF THE LAND. It overarches any internal reporting mechanisms within NHS (eg CPNS).

5) In your Arden/GEM link I see no mention of CPNS obviating the need to RIDDOR-report deaths. Please tell me where that instruction was given and on whose authority?

Problems looming on the pandemic front? Not COVID-19 - A new one…!

With avian flu (H5N1) in the country, most people were concerned as to whether they would get their Christmas turkey or when the supply of eggs would get back to normal in the shops.
However, with the virus around us in such quantities the concern to epidemiologists has always been whether a human-to-human mutation would occur. It seems that it has. We may yet have to hunker down!
The ACDP have just updated the HCID list confirming that H-H transmission is now confirmed (since more than 30 cases have been reported).

'Long Covid Doctors for Action’, along with the BMA are running a survey to assess the impact of Long Covid. Although the survey is for doctors, the outcome should be beneficial to ALL healthcare professions. See this link for details. PLS CIRCULATE WIDELY
tridenthse.co.uk/survey.html
NB. This is housed on my website simply due to the fact that, at Friday evening, 23rd December the chances of finding any webmasters still at work are pretty remote! And the survey deadline is 6 Jan.

I confirm that I have no commercial or financial interest in this matter.
