NHS England has written to the majority of patients who are currently eligible for treatments for covid-19, to inform them the way they access these treatments is changing.
From Tuesday 27th June, eligible patients will be able to self-refer to the covid-19 Medicines Delivery Unit (CMDU), which provides antiviral medicines to patients who have tested positive for covid-19 and who identify as belonging to the highest risk clinical subgroup.
This includes some patients with cancer, blood conditions, kidney disease, liver disease and auto-immune diseases, among others.
If you are an eligible patient and test positive for covid-19, please contact the CMDU directly and self-refer by:
- Visiting the PHL website and completing a self-referral form
- Phoning 03300 587080
Patients will be assessed within 24 hours of referral. Further information is available on Hampshire and Isle of Wight website.
