Practices reported CARAs quarterly survey an 89% mean response rate (81–97% for period). Setting General practices throughout Ireland. Participants...
COVID-19 required rapid innovation in health systems, the context of an infection which placed healthcare professionals at high risk; general practice has been a key component that innovative response. In Ireland, GPs were asked to work network community assessment hubs. A focused training programme control procedures/clinical use personal protective equipment (PPE) was rapidly developed advance.
