COVID-19

This report is a follow-up of the BGS COVID-19 workforce report Through the visor: Reflecting on member experiences of the COVID-19 first wave. Like the first report, this follow-up was based on a survey of members on their experiences of working through the pandemic.

This page brings together studies specifically examining the link between frailty and COVID-19 outcomes in acute care. It is intended that it will be updated every month following a review of the literature to provide an update on any frailty and COVID-19 papers.

Links, resources and tools to help support personal wellbeing during a particularly challenging time for the health and care workforce.

This resource brings together tools, templates and transferable examples of materials which may be of use across a variety of clinical settings and scenarios during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper aims to summarise the concerns raised by the BGS about current government advice concerning those at greatest risk of the most adverse COVID-19 outcomes, which includes older people, and includes recommendations for how these should be taken forward.

This resource aims to bring together useful sources of guidance, advice and information on carrying out safe, effective and successful remote consultations in a range of healthcare settings.

Older people are particularly at risk from complications as a result of COVID-19 and many are likely to already be taking medication for other conditions.
