College provides further information on Test and Trace, QR Codes and what to do when Pxs found positive after a visit.

Here’s a few questions

Should I display a NHS QR code in the practice window or maintain a log of people who visit the practice for unplanned appointments?

I have been advised to self-isolate by the Test and Trace / Test and Protect team after a patient who attended the practice for a sight test has tested positive for COVID-19. What should I do?

Should I use the NHS Test and Trace or Protect Scotland app on my phone while at work in a healthcare setting?

Do staff who work behind a screen or who are more than 2m from patients have to wear a face covering?

A patient has come in to the practice and now told me that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Do any of the staff need to self-isolate?

What does “one metre plus” social distance advice mean for optical practices in England?

Should I place the poster up on my practice door?

Some of my staff are worried that they are at particular risk from COVID-19. What should I do?

How can I access information to give to patients during the lockdown period?
