Coronavirus second wave - Making the lockdown work

Coronavirus second wave - Making the lockdown work

Author: The BMJ November 3, 2020 Duration: 58:04
As the second spike in covid-19 cases grows, we want to take stock of what's happening in the NHS. In these second wave updates, clinicians from primary care, secondary care, and public health, discuss what is happening in their field, and put questions to experts. In this podcast, Fiona Godlee, editor in chief of The BMJ talks to Matt Morgan, consultant in intensive care medicine in Cardiff and Helen Salisbury, GP in Oxfordshire, and Nisreen Alwan, associate professor in public health at the University of Southampton. They are joined by Andrew Hayward, professor of infectious disease epidemiology and inclusion health research, to talk about the lockdown in England, why the message should be clearer, what needs to be done to make the lockdown work, and how doctors are braced for the upcoming surge in cases.
