Academy of Medical Sciences 14 July 2020
- Combined with the disruption already created in the health service by COVID-19, a backlog of patients needing NHS assessment and treatment, and the possibility of a flu epidemic, a potential new wave of coronavirus infections poses a serious risk to health in the UK. This report describes preparation required to address this.
- The Academy has also released a ‘Peoples perspective’ report, written by patients and carers that calls for these actions to be developed through engagement with patients, carers and the public to ensure services, guidelines and communications work for people, rather than focusing plans on individual medical conditions.
