It has been identified that some patients have not been aware when the illness needs the attention of a GP or hospital treatment thereby delaying the appropriate treatment.

One of the key elements of monitoring your health when you have Covid-19 is the use of a Pulse Oximeter.  This is a simple device that you attach to your finger and the display will show your pulse rate and oxygen saturations levels in your blood. The document from the NHS gives clear advice on how to get medical help depending on this result. The document also gives comprehensive advice on how to manage your condition at home.

The two items of equipment  recommended in the document are a Pulse Oximeter and a             Thermometer and can be purchased at www.bentleynursing.com. The Pastoral Care Team have arranged a15% discount on these products using the voucher code MAS21. 

Please stay safe and continue to follow the governments Covid-19 guidelines
