Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Care providers played a crucial role in the national response to stop the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak amongst vulnerable adults.

The Care Provider Alliance collated and signposted care providers to the latest guidance and advice from reliable sources. We also created briefings, protocols and resources. 

We continue to support the sector with ongoing issues, including guidance on accessing vaccines for care workers and people using services.
