NHS staff are asked to “sacrifice” themselves for lack of PPE

Hospital Physicians’ Union is responsible for the lack of adequate “disgraceful” personal protective equipment in the UK, officials said “to be fully accountable for their unlawful failures to protect frontline medical staff.” I have to bear. ”

HCSA Chairman Claudia Paoloni said hospitals and employers are using new official guidance on item reuse and wearing different kits to “use counselors and care for Covid-19 patients. Will put your life at risk. “

While hospitals could run out of supplies, Dr Paoloni said that taking emergency measures, including “a very high risk of cross-contamination of both staff and patients,” was a prosecution of the UK’s response to the pandemic. I said yes.

The fierce attack arose because the government appointed Paul Dayton, CEO of the London 2012 Olympics, to “unlock the potential of the British industry to expand domestic PPE manufacturing.”

More than 15,000 patients have died in hospitals after testing positive for this disease in the UK, and thousands of deaths in nursing homes are expected.

Matt Hancock, Health Secretary, said: “Lord Beaverbrook took the lead in the wartime aircraft manufacturing effort, and the nomination of Lord Dayton will bring new impetus and focus to coordinating this unprecedented peacetime agenda.

“Sir Dayton led the Olympics. This time, with the utmost effort of the government, he is very focused and constantly focused on PPE as the country’s top manufacturing priority.”

The government has been accused of distributing PPE for weeks, warning some frontline staff that they had to work in situations where they felt unsafe.

At least 50 NHS workers died after being infected with the coronavirus.

About 84 tonnes of PPE will arrive from Turkey to the UK on Sunday, including 400,000 gowns. Its supply is described as “important” by the NHS provider, which represents hospital trust.

Dr. Paoloni said in a statement: “It is a UK response accusation that it is necessary to utilize the Emergency World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, which inevitably expose health care workers and patients to Covid-19 or other cross risks.

“The WHO clearly makes the decision to reuse or expand the use of PPE as a temporary last resort, as it carries a very high risk of cross-contamination of both staff and patients.

“Our NHS workers are outpaced daily for healing.

“They should at least maintain their physical fitness and expect enough protection to participate in this battle. On the contrary, they are required to sacrifice themselves for the failure of others.

“The government must be clear about PPE and show how it intends to overcome this disgraceful situation by action, not by spin or wrong direction.

“We expect responsible people to be fully accountable for their serious failure to protect our heroic front line staff.

The phrase “a donkey-led lion” has never felt more appropriate. “

According to British Public Health Guidance, long-sleeved disposable repellent swimwear should be worn when treating Covid-19 patients.

If gowns are not available, clinical staff are advised by the Department of Health to wear “disposable non-flowable water repellent gowns or coveralls” with aprons or “washable surgical gowns” followed by washing the forearms.

It also states that if the supply is low, then reuse of PPE should be considered if necessary.

The Royal Society of Surgeons advised its members to “not endanger their health,” and said they were “deeply confused” in the guidelines, which said they were issued without expert consultation.

Following advice from the Royal College of Nursing, patients who are not properly equipped should refuse to treat patients as a “last resort.”

The Ministry of Health and Human Services said it had delivered about 1 billion PPE nationwide as of Thursday.

“Companies like Burberry, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Ineos and Diageo have already begun work on producing equipment such as gowns, visors and hand hygiene products.

“The government is available around the clock to the social care sector and the wider NHS to provide them with the equipment and support they need to address this outbreak.”
