Guest Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 i would be interested to know other groups policies on staff working when on antibiotics for say a sore throat or chest infection. What if staff say that the doctor has said theyare not infectious.
Inge Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 as antibiotics work immediately , and as they were probably more infectious before treatment we do not see any reason for staff to be off unless they are not well enough to come in. Most cases of tonsillitis and other similar infections cannot be transmitted to another person , it is the cold or other symptoms before that are infectious, which as it is a virus antibiotics are of no help anyway.

Guest Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Hi Suehedley, A warm welcome to the forum. I've moved your post from Birth to Three Matters into policies and procedures where you may get more responses. I agree with Inge, if the staff feel well enough to work and the doctor say's it's ok, it should be fine. Also children will build up their own immunities if they have contact with illnesses. Peggy
hali Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 hello and welcome Sue - a also agree as long as the staff well and able to do thier duties it shouldnt be a problem
