- In the first wave of COVID-19, health and care services innovated and adapted at unprecedented speed to provide care and protect staff and patients during a rapidly developing global pandemic. This White Paper, led by UCLPartners and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, explores the barriers and facilitators to performing timely, rigorous and effective evaluations of these changes. Using learning from the pandemic, it sets out recommendations for how to prioritise and resource rapid service evaluations to enable more efficient and effective scale-up of health and care innovations, both regionally and nationally.
