[QUOTE="Charlie Gill, post: 7752037, member: 28586"] Just looked it up out of interest, testing is the 2nd bullet point: [I] No visit out of a care home during a pandemic is without risk, but there are steps we can take to reduce those risks.[B] Care homes should discuss and agree arrangements with residents, residents’ named visitors, or their essential care giver in advance.[/B] Decisions about steps to mitigate the risk of an individual resident’s visits out of a care home should be taken with the resident’s assessed needs and circumstances considered. The care home should balance the benefits of visits out of the care home against a consideration of the risks to others in the home, where necessary. [B]It is important that the resident and where appropriate their family are involved in discussions throughout this process.[/B] If undertaking a visit out is not possible without self-isolation on return because of the risk to the individual and other residents and staff, care providers should communicate the reasons for this decision clearly to the resident and where appropriate their family. Individual risk assessments should take into account: [/I] [LIST] [*][I]the vaccination status of residents, visitors and staff, including the extent of second vaccinations[/I] [*][I][B]any testing of those accompanying the resident or who they intend to meet on their visit out[/B][/I] [*][I]levels of infection in the community[/I] [*][I]variants of concern in the community[/I] [*][I]where the resident is going on a visit and what activities they will take part in while on the visit[/I] [*][I]the mode of transport that residents intend to use[/I] [/LIST] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/arrangements-for-visiting-out-of-the-care-home/visits-out-of-care-homes[/URL] [I][/I] Was there a prior discussion[I]?[/I] [/QUOTE]
