COVID-19 Advice for Members

As a specialty, plastic surgery has only limited direct involvement in the management of COVID-19 but the potential challenge of COVID-19 is such that all clinicians have a role to play. It is important that as a specialty we respond in a way that maximises our support to the NHS and provides the best possible care to our patients.

Please find relevant guidance to date from various national bodies and other associations below which is intended as a baseline resource rather than the definitive response.
