OFFICIAL NHS LETTER
Hi yet again! Quick addition to my earlier post! I have just received the 'official' NHS shieldimg letter in today's post. Was half expecting it, but it has still made me feel a bit strange to actually have it (don't know if that sounds a bit silly)? Anyway, it's addressed to me personally as the person

Routine blood work and risk of Coronavirus
Hi, How is everyone doing their routine blood draws these days? I'm a kidney transplant and pancreas transplant patient and I'm afraid of going to my local lab which is highly populated and would put me at a risk of COVID-19 infection.

Coronavirus SARS-CoV2: BESSY II data accelerate drug development

Lung surgery, high risk for covid 19?
I had surgery for a pulmonary avm 18 months ago. I lost my mid right lung lobe. I've healed well and now work on a ward in an nhs hospital. Work have assessed me as high risk but I don't think I am and want to keep working. Am I high risk?

I have hypersensitivity pneumonitis with fibrosis and live alone, I haven't received a letter but am I a high risk person. I would like to know. I live on my own any way so I don't have baby contacts except possibly shopping.

Hi everyone I am new to this so please be gentle with me. I’ve decided to get my backside of the couch and get moving. I am on Dialysis and awaiting a kidney transplant. It has taken me months to have the courage to go out the house and start the couch to 5k as I am embarrassed as I am very overweight

Transplant Coordinator issues
Has anyone requested to change the coordinator assigned to them when they got listed? Before my own listing, I watched my Dad go through kidney transplant. Based on his experience, I thought that the coordinator would be "on my team" and provide support through this journey - was I assuming too much
