We summarise some of the Standard Operating Procedure from 19th March with practical tips on how to implement this.
We think about ways that surgeries can reduce their footfall and protect staff and patients from exposure.
We also touch on which normal general practice services should continue during this time and where to look for guidance.

Bronchiectasis can sometimes be overlooked amongst the other, more common lung conditions such as COPD. Because of this, it can be difficult for primary care clinicians to be fully aware of how to comprehensively diagnose and manage patients who have this condition.
Lisa and Sara talk to respiratory consultant Dr Ashish about bronchiectasis. We learn exactly what this condition is, what the risk factors are for developing it, and when we should be suspicious of it as a cause. We also talk through important differentials to think about, what to look for on examination and which investigations to do (and the reliability of these). We finish by hearing about the role of sputum samples and what we can be doing in Primary Care to manage patients with bronchiectasis alongside Secondary Care.
