Hi everyone, hope your all well!

i have a question...with my immune system being suppressed, do i still go to work? i work for NHS , every day its something different, asked my charge nurse, she would only say, well its up to you! not really helpful i know we,re short staffed, and id feel bad being off work, but i need to think about my own health..

Poor you. I can imagine that this decision is made more complex because of the pressure the NHS is now facing but I think you also have to think about your own health and family commitments.

You must do what is right for you- no one should sit in judgement.

Best of luck going forward and take care x

Good advice

Look after yourself, if you become Ill you will not only not be at work, but potentially put more pressure on the NHS.

Some good advice already, have you spoken with your human resources/ occupational health people, I'm sorry I don't know what is the equivalent in the NHS.
