Dr Matt Bigwood – Peer reviewer, moderator and research editor

Welcome!! I hope this page will form a single resource, as up to date as possible, on everything to do with the topic that has hit us all so hard…Coronavirus!

There is a lot out there and you can spend hours getting lost on the web, reading news stories and hearing one thing, then another contradicting the first! So, take some time to have a flick through what I have put together. More to come and updated regularly.

There are guidelines, infographics, papers and downloads. I will also try to collate the information coming through from some of our brilliant regional groups. Many thanks to David Lyness, Jenny Briggs, Paul Groves, Martin Smith, Grace Hoey and many others.

Stay safe, look after your patients AND yourselves.

All the best

JW

He is a great friend and fellow Butterfly user. We cannot thank him enough for what he has done, both from the angle of selflessness and for the fact he has put himself on the line to get information out to us, free of nonsense. Yale contracted COVID 19 and tells us first hand what he has been going through, with lung ultrasound in a daily diary too! His twitter feed can be found here.
