It has been another week of fast-moving developments in the novel coronavirus crisis. For the NHS, the key developments were an official letter setting out the ‘next steps’ for the service to take and the publication of the government’s Coronavirus Bill, while London started to reorganise its hospitals to separate Covid-19 cases from other, emergency work.
In the health tech space, the NHS’ digital bodies clarified their responsibilities and responses, revised IG and messaging guidance, and launched a 48-hour procurement for virtual triage and consultation capability. And companies moved to outline their support and offers to the health service.
