Hi all! Someone recently wrote asking about the “ shielding list “ in Scotland and didn’t get a reply. Being in the US, I have no knowledge, but am hoping someone closer to Scotland might be able to help, so I’m reposting. Does anyone have any information? Can anyone help?
Ps, it’s snowing beautifully here in Maine. I love it.
The original question was asked by kk123456
Apparently the Shielded Patient List is for ‘clinically extremely vulnerable people’ if they get COVID, as determined by criteria or by the clinical judgment of one’s GP, so there is some flexibility. While dementia isn’t on this list (see link), recent findings that people with dementia are at increased risk may change that soon. gov.uk/government/publicati...
Thank you, Martina!
Not in Scotland but England where my husband was not on the official shielding list. However the nurse at the memory clinic said we should definitely treat him as though he was.
NHS Continued Care
Has anyone found a thickener that is more palatable than the powdered one used by the NHS?
