IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FACE TO FACE COURSES

Please ensure you have a suitable face covering following government guidance. If you are exempt from wearing a face covering please notify us as soon as possible.

Please note: A face visor or shield may be worn in addition to a face covering but not instead of one. This is because face visors or shields do not adequately cover the nose and mouth, and do not filter airborne particles.

For delegates attending face to face courses please be advised that your details may be shared with NHS Test and Trace if requested.

Face to face attendees are reminded that;

• Should they have symptoms of coronavirus (a high temperature, a new continuous cough or a loss or change to sense of smell or taste), they should not attend an event and let the organisers know by contacting dentaladmin.yh@hee.nhs.uk

• It is the individual’s duty and responsibility to comply with public health measures to control the Covid-19 pandemic and respond to the NHS Test and Trace, or other local systems for contact tracing. If contacted, attendees should confirm their attendance at this event and ask them to contact dentaladmin.yh@hee.nhs.uk for the attendee list.

There is more information about the NHS Test and Trace system available on the government website. It is important to understand your responsibilities.
