SAVE our STAFF - FFP3 face masks for all ICU staff caring for Covid-19 patients.
NHS guidelines for staff caring for patients with an infectious respiratory virus require staff to wear FFP3 masks and not surgical masks. They are being broken as staff only have an FFP3 for intubation. Surgical masks are useless as a protection in ICU. Without FFP3 masks - staff will die.
Supply all ICU units with sufficient FFP3 masks. Purchase directly from relevant manufacturers such as Silverline.com.
Compulsorily purchase all FFP3 masks from Screwfix, Serco, B&Q, and other similar stores.
Distribute all FFP3 masks to ICU staff.
