8Th Dec Covid Vaccination for Care Home Residents and Staff.Pdf Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS Board JB Russell House Gartnavel Royal Hospital 1055 Great Western Road GLASGOW G12 0XH Tel. 0141-201-4444 Fax. 0141-201-4601 Textphone: 0141-201-4479 www.nhsggc.org.uk Letter to Care Home Managers Date: 8 December 2020 Our Ref: LdeC/RB – Care Home Managers Enquiries to: Linda de Caestecker Direct Line: 0141 201 4623 E-mail: [email protected] Dear Colleague Covid Vaccination for care home residents and staff You will be aware that the first vaccine for COVID19 has been authorised for use in the UK and the first deliveries were received on 5th December. At this stage there is a limited supply of the vaccine but residents and staff of care homes for older adults are a priority to be vaccinated along with front-line health and social care staff. This first priority group will continue to be vaccinated during December 2020 and all of January 2021. Due to the complexities of the vaccine it is not possible to bring the vaccine out to homes yet although it is hoped that it will be possible to start this before the end of December. As soon as we receive the guidance that it is possible to take the vaccine to individual care homes, NHS staff will come to care homes to deliver the vaccine to staff and residents. From 9th December we will run vaccination clinics at the Louisa Jordan Hospital for NHS and care home staff. From the 14th December there will also be clinics for NHS and care home staff set up at the locations in the appendix to this letter. Due to limited supply in the first two weeks, we are prioritising staff in large care homes (due to evidence that there is more risk of transmission in these homes) that have no current outbreak. If your home does not come into these categories, I wish to reassure you that we will be visiting care homes to deliver vaccine to staff and residents as soon as supplies are available. Information packs will be delivered to care homes on the 11th December including information about the vaccine for staff and patient. http://www.publichealthscotland.scot/covidvaccinescw http://www.nhsinform.scot/covid19vaccine You will be receiving information about getting consent for residents to be vaccinated. I would ask you to progress this as soon as possible and when 75% of your residents are in a position to be vaccinated, please contact Nicholas Henry at [email protected] to let us know so that we can arrange the vaccination team to attend your care home. For some homes this will not occur until early January but I wish to reassure you that we will visit every home as quickly as possible when supplies of the vaccine are available. Planning to deliver vaccination will be complex given the fragility of the vaccine and teams will have to work in defined geographical areas with groups of homes. We will keep in touch with you via your local Commissioning Manager. I am writing separately to the care homes whose staff will be invited for vaccinations this week and next week.

G12 0XH 22 March 2018 RE: Proposal to relocate the Glasgow Adult Haemophilia and Thrombosis Comprehensive Care Centre Dear Ms Grant, I am writing further to my letter of 19 March 2018. I would like to clarify that it was Philip Dolan, in his role as Chair of the West of Scotland Haemophilia Group who brought the proposal to relocate the Glasgow Adult Haemophilia and Thrombosis Comprehensive Care Centre to our attention. Mr Dolan is meeting with the CEO of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary tomorrow (23 March) and has also called a meeting for patients which will discuss this issue (24 March). In its work on this issue to date, the West of Scotland Haemophilia Group has stressed its concerns about a lack of patient consultation and their fears that relocation could jeopardise the provision of a full comprehensive care package of services, as this is highly reliant on relationships with other specialties. Although the West of Scotland Haemophilia Group is not affiliated with Haemophilia Scotland we share many members and are both committed to working closely on this issue. We are grateful to them for being the first to identifying this issue, for taking prompt action to raise it with the hospital management, and for giving local patients an opportunity to come together to discuss the proposal.
