#MasksInHealthcare CVF members who wore good quality (FFP2/ FFP3) masks were told to remove them by staff who may have been poorly informed. 10/

The removal of masks in healthcare has has a direct impact on the health of Clinically Vulnerable people who have increasingly had to delay or cancel their appointments due to high Covid risks. 11/

Removing mitigations from healthcare settings has a disproportionate impact on those who carry the greatest risk, although all within healthcare will have higher risks as they are generally a more vulnerable population. 12/

Yet not all of CVFs members have the ability to delay or cancel appointments due to their serious health conditions. Or they can delay some things to avoid Covid peaks, but not others. 13/

Current guidance for immune suppressed people is to: ↔️Ask visitors to keep their distance. 📥Take a lateral flow test 😷Ask them to wear a face covering 😷You may want to wear a face covering yourself Cathy flags the juxtaposition of this advice with risks in healthcare. 14/

There is no testing in healthcare. This is a problem for Clinically Vulnerable people who are "high users of healthcare". CVF advocates for #MasksInHealthcare. 15/

CVFs "wishlist" None of this is happening currently, although patients sometimes ask for staff to mask *See a mask, wear a mask* would be much simpler than self-advocacy. 16/

This is such an important point, which I think many in palliative care are struggling to recognise, never mind address: x.com/johnmacartney/…

You get diagnosed with cancer. You come to get treatment started. You get Covid from socialising, or hospital. Your treatment gets delayed. The cancer spreads. You are less fit post-Covid infection & with more cancer spread, treatment is less likely to work. This is happening.
