One in ten patients with #COVID19 will need specialised input when going for surgery.
Guidance from @RCoANews @Assoc_Anaes @UkFssa @RCSnews & @CPOC_News will be invaluable, making sure patient's surgery is safe & appropriate for them. @scarlettmcnally

The @RCoANews @Assoc_Anaes @UkFssa @RCSnews @CPOC_News have published 'SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, COVID‐19 and timing of elective surgery.'
CPOC's @scarlettmcnally details how surgical waiting lists should be viewed as 'preparation lists' to reduce risk.

@RCSnews Ring fencing beds can only happen when all the other resources to run surgery are also ring fenced. In many places that means continuing to use other Covid lite sites due to the way our hospitals are designed. #ItHasToHappen

The rest of the report makes equally depressing reading. Has the #NHS really survived? In particular, note that there is ‘no plan’ for how to restart dentistry!

Hopefully fever hospitals that can be used for elective surgery when not needed in times of crisis!

I'm delighted that today, we are announcing 40 new hospitals we will build in the 2020s.
We protected the NHS in the peak of #coronavirus & these new hospitals will help to protect it in the future.

@UkFssa sees this as a major problem and suggested the #RoyalCollegesOfSurgery look at the issues in units and perhaps use their #IRM mechanisms to help units that are struggling, providing advice about best practice. With another wave coming, this is essential.

.@RCSnews wants to know how we can get #ElectiveSurgery back up and running. Tell us what’s happening in your trust, so we can feed back to govt. Are you able to get tested, can your patients get a test? Tell us here by Monday: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/restori…
