Videos and training materials for the use of personal protective equipment, such as FFP3 masks, have been published on the GOV.UK site and can be found at the following link:

We are working with nursing, Medical Royal Colleges and the care provider industry bodies to ensure that frontline staff are aware of this guidance.
