Back to work

I am due to return to work full time in a high school starting on Tuesday, I work for an agency so will be my first day in a new school also. I am very worried about going back work as I have been shielding for months. I have been to the supermarket and went to the hairdressers today. So I have been out but don't feel ready to go back to work yet especially full time. I am also the school nurse so will be constantly around ill children

There's a free government scheme to help employees with occupational health advice and services. Please call them - they are very helpful. gov.uk/access-to-work

Great reply from Poobah.

Also work part time in school so understand your concerns as have also been shielding.

Can you chat with your medical team for advice? Best of luck
