The regulations mandating vaccination for in-scope roles in the NHS have now been removed.

The Trust does however continue to encourage and support staff to be vaccinated as this remains the best line of defence against COVID19.

Vaccination data will be collected by our recruitment team during your on-boarding if you are happy to provide a copy of your COVID pass.
