Aims: To identify and synthesize the aims, recommendations, implementation, and outcomes of published guidance related to nursing homes, residents and staff, in England, published during the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: Scoping review of publicly available policy documents, guidance and recommendations related to COVID-19 in nursing homes in England, identified using systematic searches of government websites. The aims, main recommendations, implementation and intended outcomes reported in included documents were extracted and synthesised using thematic analysis.Results: Thirty-three policy documents were identified. Six themes of recommendations emerged; infection prevention and control, hospital discharge, testing and vaccination, staffing, visitation and continuing routine care. In addition, seven areas of implementation were identified; funding, collaborative working, monitoring and data collection, reducing workload, decision making and leadership, training and enhancing technology and communication.Discussion: Government policy on COVID-19 in nursing homes focused on reducing transmission and protecting residents and staff, however further research is needed to explore the extent to which these recommendations were implemented in practice.
