This page contains local guidance (from a BCU/Glan Clwyd Hospital/ICM perspective). It is not intended as a repository of all information available on this illness. The information here will mirror that available on the dedicated intranet page on the ICU desktop computers, so that people can view it at home.
To ensure you are reading up to date material, and to avoid information overload, we would encourage you to use the following 'official' website resources, rather than the multitude of mirror sites and resources maintained elsewhere.
1. UpToDate: ensure you have a login for this via the library. The COVID article is updated daily.
2. Joint FICM/AAGBI/ICS/RCoA guidance
3. Dedicated UK Government website
4. NICE guidance here
5. Public Health Wales website
6. World Health Organisation technical guidance
7. Resuscitation Council (UK) guidance here
