The statement sets out considerations for patients (and/or their carers) who are already receiving treatment and those patients (and/or their carers) who have not yet started treatment. NICE and NHS England and NHS Improvement have considered the unprecedented demand on the NHS in the coming months and that some patients may want to self-isolate or have been advised to shield.
NICE and NHS England and NHS Improvement state:
While we would like to provide general information about likely access to treatment and suggested adjustments to clinical monitoring, some hospitals may have to take additional local decisions to further prioritise resources to tackle COVID-19.
