COVID-19: Patient Assessment the role of physiology and oximetry

The assessment of patients who are unwell with Covid-19 or other causes presents a significant challenge for GPs and clinicians working in Primary Care. The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and the AHSN Network are holding a joint webinar looking at the role of oximetry and other physiology in that assessment.

The webinar will be led by:

• Dr Jonathan Leach, RCGP Honorary Secretary and Covid Lead
• Dr Alison Tavaré, Primary Care Clinical Lead at West of England AHSN
• Dr Simon Stockley, RCGP Lead for Acute Deterioration and Sepsis

Overview of content to be explored:

• Clinical features of Covid-19
• Importance of oximetry in Covid
• Clinical judgement and physiology in Patient assessment
• Role of NEWS2 in General Practice and Care Homes
• Remote oximetry in the assessment and management of Covid disease in the community
• This will be followed by a Q and A session.

The webinar will be held on Wednesday 29 April, 13.30 – 14.30pm and you can register here. The webinar will be recorded and shared afterwards.
