Concerns about sharing data should never be at the expense of patient care say @CMO_England @NDGoffice and @ICOnews. Their call to action encourages health and care staff to confidently and safely share data for patient care across organisations. ➡️transform.england.nhs.uk/inf…

In general, the impact of Covid-19 on causing critical illness, i.e needing intensive care, in children lessened over the first two years of the pandemic, including when the omicron variant became dominant @CCPUKstudy @ISARIC1
Researchers from @livuni have contributed to a paediatric study that provides valuable insights into the impact of Covid-19 on hospitalised children during the pandemic. Read more here news.liverpool.ac.uk/2023/09… @ProfCalumSemple

Yes, along with loss of biodiversity, changing habitats of animals, illegal wild life trade, urbanisation, trade and travel. All key drivers more frequent & complex epidemics & pandemics. The epidemic events are symptoms of our changing world & need to address the key drivers

Doctors, scientists, & public health teams are working together, learning lessons from their responses to past outbreaks pandemics. This new way of working has led to the rapid discovery of the cause of this mystery disease @ISARIC1 @kennethbaillie @ProfCalumSemple

Timely release of our latest @CCPUKstudy study, led by @LanceTurtle, evaluating impact of #immunocompromise (IC) on outcome in hospitalised #COVID19. TL;DR: Despite effective 💉& Rx, IC individuals remain at ⬆️ risk of death from COVID19 compared to immunoconpetent persons.
Today there is a lot of coverage of immune compromised people and whether the antibody treatment #Evusheld would benefit this population. Of relevance to this, is our latest pre-print on COVID-19 in hospitalised immune compromised people. @evusheld4theuk medrxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Great result and further evidence of the value of preparedness studies set up in readiness for future outbreaks of novel disease @gail_carson (the original CI), @ProfCalumSemple (CI & coLead) @kennethbaillie (coLead), @p_openshaw (coLead), @OutbreakJake & many more
🆕 Recent acute #hepatitis cases of unknown origin in children have now been linked to the virus AAV2, with no evidence of a direct link to #SARSCoV2 infection, in two new studies led by @UofGMVLS @GreatOrmondSt and @UCLchildhealth. Find out more ➡️ bit.ly/3vcAzRc
