Could your company or organisation offer any Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to NHS staff?
Wider supply chain efforts to ensure frontline NHS staff have enough equipment during the COVID-19 outbreak are currently being led by Scottish Enterprise, however a recently call for equipment via Scottish Engineering has shown that every offer of equipment may help.
Face masks of the following types are particularly sought:
- FFP3 or FFP2 type face masks or something similar. Examples include the Alpha Solway 3030V and 3M 8833
- Type 2R surgical masks are also welcomed
To donate, companies are advised to contact one of the 14 regional NHS Boards across Scotland. Each region has a website and contact details linked to give you a better idea of where you could donate.
In addition to masks, local NHS Boards may have specific other PPE requirements your company may be able to help with.
