  • Health and Social Care NITHSDALE LOCALITY REPORT March 2021
    Dumfries and Galloway Integration Joint Board Health and Social Care NITHSDALE LOCALITY REPORT March 2021 Version: DRAFT March 2021 1. General Manager’s Introduction 1.1 The COVID-19 Pandemic The past year has presented unprecedented challenges for health and social care across Dumfries and Galloway. The first 2 cases of COVID-19 in the UK were confirmed by 31 January 2020. The first positive cases in Dumfries and Galloway were identified on 16 March 2020. Following direction from the Scottish Government, in March 2020 Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership started their emergency response to the pandemic. Hospital wards were emptied and some cottage hospitals temporarily closed. Many planned services were stopped whilst others changed their delivery model. Many staff were redeployed to assist with anticipated high levels of demand across the Partnership. There were many issues that had to be addressed including: the supply and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the Health and Social Care system over 500 people’s regular care and support ‘packages’ were readjusted to respond to the needs presented by COVID-19 our relationships with care homes changed significantly we quickly kitted out a site that could be used as a temporary cottage hospital in Dumfries During the period of June to October 2020, the Partnership focused on adapting services to reflect the heightened infection prevention and control measures needed to combat COVID-19 and rapidly expanding COVID-19 testing capacity across the region. We rolled out training and technology to enable many more video and telephone consultations. We had to rethink how people could access our premises, with additional cleaning and social distancing to keep people safe.
