COVID-19 Insight: Issue 10

In this month’s report, we look at the impact of the pandemic on access to dental services, and give examples of the innovative ways that local services have collaborated to care for people with cancer, or suspected cancer.

We want these insight reports to help everyone involved in health and social care to work together to learn from the pandemic. This includes:

• sharing and reflecting on what has gone well
• understanding and learning from the experience of what hasn't
• helping health and care systems prepare better for the future.
