A Question From a Network Member

Liz Lipsham from East Sussex Health Care NHS Trust asks:

I’d be interested to hear from other Trusts as to how they are supporting their staff who are struggling with the constant wearing of PPE, specifically masks at work.  We promote that staff take frequent breaks where they can remove their PPE as appropriate but staffing levels often hamper this.  Also if anyone has trialled a mask that overcomes the issue for the wearer of their glasses steaming up, I’d love to hear from you.
