Dental nurses working at drive-through COVID-19 test centres

They join hundreds of other healthcare workers who are helping out frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nurses and healthcare support workers as well as doctors, domestic staff, pharmacy, theatre, administrative staff, drivers and laboratory staff have returned to help maintain services at this challenging time.

A further 400 individuals, who responded to the national appeal for staff to return to work in NHS Scotland, have indicated they wish to work in NHS Forth Valley.

Many existing staff have also been redeployed to new roles to deliver vital services.

These include dental nurses from NHS Forth Valley’s community dental and Childsmile team who are now working at local drive-through testing centres for key workers.
