Letter

Has anyone received the letter we are all expecting from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary?

Hello for me here in the uk 🇬🇧 I’ve been getting text messages no letters as yet

Hope you are keeping well 💚

[PeterP54]

I'm looked after by Leeds. No letter yet but plenty of texts.

[Yuiop in reply to PeterP54]

We haven’t heard anything yet

[Dolphin71 in reply to PeterP54]

Hi I’m under St James hepotologist and I’ received the letter on Monday and daily texts

[PeterP54 in reply to Dolphin71]

Hi Dolphin. Thanks. That's interesting. Does the letter say anything different to other published guidance or the texts?

[Dolphin71 in reply to PeterP54]

Hi the only additional information it has is that the letter confirms self isolation for 12 weeks so there is no need for a doctors fit note. The letter should be shown to employers to claim SSP

[PeterP54 in reply to Dolphin71]

Thanks again. I've been retired for a few years, so do not claim SSP.

No nothing except texts. I have an online app called ‘my chart’ for addenbrookes so cant for the life of me understand why details are not on there ,my test results & appts go on there

I'm under Edinburgh, haven't had as much as a text or phone call. I appreciate they will be busy, but I'm still surprised their transplant recipients haven't been contacted. I don't particularly want to phone the coordinators, I'm sure they have better things to be doing than chitchat ☹️

Hubby and I are going in on 31st.He is going for a scan and then the clinic so I will ask and let you know

[Yuiop in reply to GrannyDoll61]

My work asked me if he had a letter to enable sick pay, all I could say was no!

Hi, l seem to recall seeing something online that you can download and send to your employer. I am sure it was called an isolation note. It was a government site so this would sort out any employer. As if we don't have enough to deal with just now.

Hi all, l just joined to ask this very question. It seems that we have been forgotten about by NHS Scotland. It's all good to tell us to shield ourselves, and rightly so, but l feel we are being left to our own devices. If anyone gets any info about the supposed contact details for help would you be so kind as to post them on the forum

I had a liver transplant a year ago and it's all good. Thanks.

Letter arrived today

[Litimag in reply to Yuiop]

Still nothing for me, is there any helpful info in the letter or just general "don't go out" stuff?

[Yuiop in reply to Litimag]

Shielding, more strict than isolating.. you can google it

[Litimag in reply to Yuiop]

I know we are supposed to be shielding, I don't need to Google it. I meant info on registering for help with deliveries and pharmacy, like our first minister claimed we would get. Never mind, I'll just phone the transplant team on Monday.

Update : My letter arrived at 17:30 this evening, there's a telephone number to text and register for support 🙂

Hopefully I will be having toast again soon lol

My hubby received his letter today too

I received a letter from RIE to say that my appointment for my endoscopy has been postponed for 2/4/20.
