Resource Hub for Shielding Trainees
Since the the Covid-19 pandemic those classed as clinically extremely vulnerable have been advised to take additional action to avoid exposure to the virus through strict social-distancing measures and “shielding”.
Shielding doctors and other vulnerable groups face a potentially prolonged period away from clinical aspects of training and it is important to consider resources and alternative methods of maintaining knowledge, skills and wellbeing support during this time.
