Yes I have a powerpoint presentation. A few details will need to be updated as I wrote it in November. But it has gone down well here.

Dear All
This would be a very valuable resource for all ICNs who are preparing operational plans - would you be prepared to share it more widely?? It might save a lot of re-inventing wheels and also stimulate discussion |

Of course I would be happy to share more widely but I can't attach files to this message board. Any advice on this would be great. (Maybe Neil could help with this)
I put it together in November so minor adjustments would need to be made as things seem to change on a daily basis! Also it doesn't mention surgical masks for those within 3 feet but shows the FFP3 masks which we have gone with, for aerosole generating procedures. (it was written before the guidance on PPE)
There is a lot about the history and background to pandemic flu. Also, it was written for the private sector with all side rooms so cohorting etc would need to be added.

Hi
I am aware that people with beards or even a few days stubble may fail fit testing for the FFP3 masks. Is there any alternative?
I would be grateful for your comments

| If a member of staff fails a fit test then you may try a different make of mask. Some staff have flatter bridges to their noses (often afro carrabeans) and tend to be difficult to fit test and facial hair is a bit of a nightmare. We found the rep from 3M very helful and they do a range of different FFP3 masks so if one fails the fit test you can try another style. Also Kimberly Clark do a varied range. |

Hi Margaret
I was talking to the 3M rep last week regarding your question on fit testing for staff with facial hair. He states that no mask that relies on a facial seal would be suitable for these staff. There is however a mask that is battery operated that does not rely on this facial seal. Maybe this will help
