BANT\u2019s Advice Following the Prime Ministers Speech Relating to Face-to-Face Consultations<\/p>\n
Following on from the Prime Minister\u2019s speech on Sunday, BANT has received numerous requests for guidelines on reverting back to face-to-face consultations.<\/p>\n
BANT\u2019s clear recommendation is that its members continue working remotely from home for the foreseeable future and to heed the government advice to continue to stay home and protect lives.<\/p>\n
Government announcements have made it clear that only essential or emergency services should be delivered face-to-face.<\/p>\n
BANT wants to reassure its members that it is aware that they need to get back to work (most of its volunteer directors and part-time managers are also practising NTs) but we owe it to our members\u2019, the public (both general and vulnerable) and the front line workers to put safety first.<\/p>\n
Rest assured, BANT is already anticipating guidelines and is already working on these. They will be published at the appropriate time. Unfortunately, that time is not yet.<\/p>\n
