Hi all

At this point in time, Whiddon are still working through the consultation process with some care team members to finalise their rosters.

To ensure we have been able to consult with all team members, it has meant there has been a further delay to having an agreed publish roster by Monday 5 June 2023.

Therefore, we are advising that we anticipate the finalised and agreed roster will now be published on Monday 19 June 2023 with the roster commencement date being Monday 3 July 2023.

We appreciate that this process can be difficult; so, we remind you about Access EAP who can be contacted on 1800 818 728.

Please remember that all staff are reminded to wear the correct mask correctly at all times, including in work areas such as the kitchen and laundry.

Please ensure that you are completing your RAT correctly, as we are trying to determine how our residents in the DSU had become affected as they don’t leave their room.

We thank you for your diligence.

• Staff and visitors are to wear full PPE as requested on arrival whilst visiting and working in the facility.
• Visitors are requested to minimise or postpone visits, if possible, with our aim being each resident has one identified person who can visit for the time being and preferably for shorter periods of time.
• It is recommended that residents do not go out into the community due to the high number of cases reported locally.
