Covid Oximetry @home – Briefing and Q&A
Implementation support for COVID-19 remote pulse oximetry services
NHS England and NHS Improvement is working with Academic Health Science Networks and local areas to support the continued set-up of ‘COVID Oximetry @home’ services (also known as ‘COVID virtual wards’). This is one of the seven priority goals for the additional £150m General Practice COVID Capacity Expansion Fund and is already used in many areas to help detect earlier deterioration of people with COVID-19, both in the community and in care homes. To find out more, including the support available, CCG colleagues are invited to attend one this national webinar. Attendance is limited to 1-2 people per CCG and a recording will be made available for those unable to attend:
Wednesday 18 November, 3-4pm – https://www.events.england.nhs.uk/events/covid-oximetry-home-briefing-and-q-a
For more information about the support available to set up local Oximetry @home services, join the FutureNHS platform: https://future.nhs.uk/NHSatH/grouphome
All CCGs can continue to request oximeters for local use by emailing england.home@nhs.net. Allocation will take account of local infection rates and previous requests.
