COVID-19 risk assessments for colleagues no longer need to be sent through Connect or by email to Occupational Health

February 6, 2023

Following on from evolving regional and national guidance,  COVID-19 risk assessments for colleagues no longer need to be sent through Connect or by email to occupational health. The Trust has also removed the advisory measure of ‘preferably non-patient facing work’ after 28 weeks of pregnancy which was introduced during peak COVID-19 times.

Pregnancy and general risk assessments for colleagues will continue to be carried out by managers at departmental level where appropriate. Specialist occupational health assessments will remain available through the Occupational Health department following a management referral.

Colleagues should stringently follow infection prevention and control advice, and ensure safe working practices at all times. Vaccination against COVID-19 and flu are still available for Trust colleagues occupational health – click here for details.
