Changes in the way to access COVID-19 treatments

28 June 2023

Following a recent release of information from NHS England there has now been an update regarding the changes in accessing COVID treatments.

From the 27th June, if you test positive for COVID-19, then you will no longer be contacted to arrange treatment. You will need to contact your GP, hospital specialist or NHS 111 for yourself. NHS organisations, named Integrated Care Boards (ICB), will set up local COVID-19 treatment services, but this will vary from area to area. ICB COVID services will be in line with other routinely provided services, that are tailored to the local populations.

More information is available here.

In the meantime, we and all other patient organisations are doing our very best to get some clarity around the situation and will update our information as soon as we can.
