FFP3 reusable respirators for COVID-19; adequate and suitable in the healthcare setting

in response to critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, MedsupplydriveUK was established by ENT trainee Ms. Jasmine Ho, and MedsupplydriveUK Scotland by two Plastic Surgery trainees (Ms. Gillian Higgins and Mrs. Eleanor Robertson). We applied the principles of creative problem solving and multidisciplinary collaboration instilled by our specialty. Since March 2020, we have recruited over 400 volunteers to mobilise over 200,000 pieces of high quality PPE donated from industry to the NHS and social care.
