A covid-linked syndrome may be emerging in children
On this week\u2019s HSJ Health Check podcast we discuss warnings over a possible covid-linked condition in children, and Sir Simon Steven\u2019s new guidance on the next phase of the response for the NHS.
\nChildren\u2019s intensive care doctors have observed a small but growing number of cases, and issued warnings to try to ensure cases are not dismissed. Matt Hancock has ordered further investigation of the issue and said he is \u201cvery worried\u201d.
\nWe also discuss the latest guidance from the NHS England chief executive on how the health service will try to return more normal services in the next six weeks \u2013 yet having to continue dealing with the outbreak; and how the protective equipment shortage will limit what can be done.
\nFeaturing Annabelle Collins, Katherine Hignett, James Illman and Dave West.
