Restarting planned services

Ben Travis, Chief Executive, has recorded a message for patients and staff about restarting planned day case services (including surgery and diagnostics) at University Hospital Lewisham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital from Monday 1 June. Ben talks about how we are keeping patients and colleagues safe by:

  • Seeing patients coming in for planned day case services in a sealed-off part of both hospitals – well away from patients receiving treatment for Covid-19
  • Securing sufficient PPE for all frontline staff, including those involved in day case procedures
  • Screening all staff and patients in elective areas for Covid-19 on a daily basis
  • Giving patients a test for Covid-19 three days before surgery
  • Requiring all patients for planned treatment to self-isolate for a period of time before coming in for treatment.

These maps for UHL and for QEH show the drop-off points for patients who are coming in to day case services.
