Dr John MacArtney, who leads CRC’s Palliative Care theme, has developed a short public engagement film describing the ongoing Covid-19 presents to people with terminal illnesses. This builds on his large ESRC funded study looking at the impact of Covid-19 on hospices, including four reports for clinical practice looking at the pandemic’s effects on patients, carers, staff and senior managers, as well as a policy report developed in collaboration with Marie Curie. 

The blog and film can be found here: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/talkabout/articles/covid-isnt-over-terminal-illnesses/354907
