We have discovered that some people with pulmonary hypertension have been receiving notices advising them they no longer need to follow government advice to shield. These notices have come via a text message from the National Shielding Service or a letter from a GP practice.
The notices state that consequently, food deliveries organised by National Shielding Services will be stopped.
If you receive a notice like this in the near future it should be ignored. If you have pulmonary hypertension, it is vital that you continue to shield.
If you have already received a similar notice, please contact your specialist centre straight away. Please also let us know by emailing office@phauk.org
At the PHA UK we continue to ensure that the information provided on our own website and communication materials is up-to-date and accurate, with the support and endorsement of the specialist centres.
Below is an example of a text message that has been received.
