Lay summary

Understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and national response.

Public benefit statement

In this project, we have been supported by the individual level de-identifided patient data collected from all GP practices in North West London, and three hospitals from ICHT, to continue monitoring whether antibiotic prescribing was appropriate. We also aimed to assess the impact of multiple complex factors, such as remote GP consultation via telephone or video, social distancing measures, changes in guidelines, might have influenced other infectious diseases other than COVID-19.
