The Covid-19 crisis tightened, with prime minister Boris Johnson asking people living in the UK to “stay home” to “protect the NHS” and “save lives”. The NHS prepared for the critical weeks of the crisis by confirming plans to open a 4,000 bed Nightingale Hospital at London’s ExCel centre and appealing for volunteers to help the service.
NHSX launched a £500,000 Techforce19 challenge for IT that could be “rapidly scaled” to support people self-isolating and prevent social isolation. And the Health Tech Newspaper published two features on the health tech response to the pandemic, with the support of Highland Marketing and its clients.
