Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe

We follow governement guidlines . I attend the BCA clincal leaders network which is attended by PHE, CCG and LA to get the most upto date information.  We have offered taxis to staff who may use public transport.  All staff and residents and relatives are updated of any changes in policy and procedure.

Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications
