COVID-19 Part One: Preparing an Emergency Department for a pandemic

In the first part of our COVID-19 series Consultant in Emergency Medicine Dr Andrew Lindsay joined the podcast via Zoom. We discussed the preparation for a pandemic, issues with fake news, PPE, escalation, intubation and what the future may look like. This episode was recorded on Wednesday April 29th 2020. This podcast was recorded shortly after we received the sad news of the passing of Manjeet Riyat. As with everyone in the Emergency Medicine family our deepest sympathies are with his family, friends and colleagues.
