We are now focusing on bringing back services we have paused and on how we care for Covid and non-Covid patients in the months ahead. Our absolute priority is to ensure the safety of our patients and of our staff. All our pre-Covid plans for the future are being reviewed to ensure that nothing distracts from this critical goal of infection prevention and control. It is in this context that it has been decided to postpone indefinitely our plans to form a Group Model with the North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT). While the move to a Group will not be taken forward for the foreseeable future, BHRUT and NELFT will continue to work together for the benefit of our patients. The way different health and social care organisations have come together throughout the coronavirus outbreak is one of the positive things to have emerged from this crisis.
