What Next?

Abstract

There has been tremendous progress made to address COVID-19 and its impacts, from the development of vaccines to the rapid set up of and recruitment to platform trials. However, the virus still disrupts the lives of many in the UK and globally. This position paper outlines the Academy’s views on what should be considered, both for COVID-19 and more broadly, as we proceed into winter and beyond. Our position has been informed by a series of roundtables held in April and May 2022 with experts, including patients and carers, and others involved in the development of our previous COVID-19 reports.
