S1 E14 - Coronavirus Special: The Future for General Practice

In this latest coronavirus special Neal Tucker discusses the latest knowledge about COVID-19 and how general practice will need to adapt to a world with persisting coronavirus.

We discuss the effects of coronavirus on black, Asian and minority ethnic populations, new understanding about the clinical features of COVID-19 especially in cardiac disease, how facemasks can help protect us by limiting the spread from others and how the infection is affecting care homes.

In our in-depth section we think about how general practice might need to adapt for a future with coronavirus, what barriers we face and how this could be an opportunity to re-design primary care for the benefit of patients and staff alike.
