Rescue Packs – Inaccurate Information

We have been made aware of some inaccurate information circuilating regarding special ‘rescue packs’ for patients with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Please do not contact your GP practice for a rescue pack. You should continue to manage your condition in the usual way and if you feel you have symptoms of COVID-19, go to www.111.nhs.uk/covid-19 before doing anything else.

Please read this helpful information from the British Lung Foundation: www.blf.org.uk/support-for-you/coronavirus/people-living-with-lung-condition.
