Oxford COVID-19 Evidence Service. How do you manage pneumonia in older people in a pandemic? Do NSAIDs worsen outcomes in acute respiratory infections (ARI)? More. And more coming. With timelines for each review's arrival. cebm.net/oxford-covid-1…

Some thoughts about GP preparation for COVID-19 in the BMJ blog. blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2020/03/13…

We need to expand primary care surveillance of COVID-19, join at rcgp.org.uk/rsc This includes high quality coding of respiratory illness, flu-like illness, and confirmed COVID-19 cases. Advice is online at: rcgp.org.uk/clinical-and-r…

Really important for GP colleagues have great data quality through the COVID-19 pandemic. Please code this disease, testing and exclusion. Prof Kamlesh Khunti supports. See: rcgp.org.uk/clinical-and-r… + preferred codes + prompts at: clininf.eu/index.php/cov-…

Delighted to have any feedback on our protocol for COVID-19 surveillance OxPrimaryCareSci @RCGP Clinical Informatics JMIR Publications This is a major piece of teamwork. We welcome more practices to join the Oxford based RCGP RSC. publichealth.jmir.org/2020/2/e18606/

Help us monitor when COVID-19 peaks and the end of lockdown - to do this please get your coding right in primary care - see: BJGP Open Journal bjgpopen.org/content/early/… UK coding guidance - use the good, rather than bad or ugly codes OxPrimaryCareSci @RCGP Clinical Informatics

Disparities in COVID-19 test positivity seen in Oxford RCGP RSC sentinel network. See Lancet ID: thelancet.com/journals/lanin… OxPrimaryCareSci Royal College of General Practitioners Clinical Informatics Thanks to our network member practices & their patients for their support.

Benefits of molecular point-of-care testing for flu are well known in secondary care: it is highly accurate and results are rapid. New research shows its feasibility in general practice. doi.org/10.3399/bjgp20…

See: bjgp.org Molecular point of care testing can be incorporated into primary care workflow, this may be particularly important where there may be co-circulation of influenza and COVID-19 OxPrimaryCareSci Royal College of General Practitioners Clinical Informatics Academy of Medical Sciences

DRIVE sponsored study in UK featured by BJGP. The largest difference in common sub-processes was observed between practices in the methods used to systematically identify patients eligible for swabbing and in who managed the POCT machines ow.ly/1Oo650AKbAd

What we used to call winter season disease surveillance is now all-year-round. Clinical Informatics Our protocol for surveillance by the Oxford-RCGP Research and Surveillance centre ORCHID is now online: preprints.jmir.org/preprint/24341

A nice video for patients looking to take COVID-19 or influenza swabs at home takeatestuk.com/phe-home/ ORCHID Royal College of General Practitioners Please can Oxford-RCGP RSC surveillance practices increase their sampling - we are looking for 1,000 specimens per week. OxPrimaryCareSci

1,700 GP practices contribute patient data for Oxford COVID-19 research phc.ox.ac.uk/news/1-700-gp-… Fantastic to see such great support from colleagues ORCHID Royal College of General Practitioners OxPrimaryCareSci More colleagues are welcome

Nice mention of the work of the RSC in today's Sunday times, thetimes.co.uk/article/hygien… Part of our longstanding collaboration with Public Health England, RCGP Royal College of General Practitioners University ORCHID OxPrimaryCareSci and the great work of primary care in influenza vaccination this year.
