The AoMRC has requested that BOPSS remind members that we may be the primary physician for patients who are at high risk of increased morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 (1).
These patients are being asked to consider complete self-isolation – or shielding – for their own safety.
A template letter (2) which can be sent to such patients and the information sent out by NHSE (3) is available.
Additional information can be found on the AoMRC website https://www.aomrc.org.uk/covid-19-clinical/
