    This article is written by Ryan Van Lieshout, Canada Research Chair in the Perinatal Programming of Mental Disorder. He looks at the mental health challenges new mums are facing during the coronavirus pandemic and highlights the importance of self-care, with particular reference to 'NEST-S' (nutrition, exercise, sleep, time for self, supports).

    Philip Anderson’s able-bodied daughter, Lucy, joins Philip in sharing their perspectives of positive developments during the coronavirus lockdown, and their hopes for the future. Philip acquired a debilitating rare disease and has had to learn to live with remorseless erosion of his physical capacity, and increasing dependency. "I confess that when I was able-bodied, I was not aware of the extent of restrictions imposed by organisations on those with physical impairments. I’m only as disabled by the choices others make, rather than by loss of my motivation to live life ‘normally'. I hope that many who are experiencing some of our restrictions for the first time, will be passionate advocates for those with disability," says Philip in this thought-provoking article published in Independent Living.

    We can use what we’ve learned from the crisis to make a 21st-century service fit for patients and staff alike, says Joel Schamroth in a blog to the Guardian. This pandemic is forcing us to rethink how we deliver healthcare. For too long patients have experienced fragmented services, administrative hurdles and unreliable lines of communication. The “patient experience” often remains an afterthought in the NHS, leading to worse health outcomes, and costing the NHS dearly. The lesson the public is learning is that money can be made available when it’s deemed to be important. In a matter of weeks COVID-19 has shown us that change is possible.

Unfortunately due to the coronavirus pandemic Alan's operation in early May has been cancelled because beds in the intensive care unit are in short supply.

    The COVID-19 outbreak has had an impact on all areas of health and social care. While understandably the focus of the healthcare system currently rests on the pandemic, it is important that we also consider the impact on non COVID-19 treatment and care. This has been recently highlighted by the UK Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty, who has warned about the impact that the pandemic will have on other areas as the health system is “reorientated towards COVID”.[1] Patient Safety Learning believe that in this context the need to pay attention to patient safety is now more important than ever. Pregnant women represent a unique patient group, facing very specific challenges. Although early evidence indicates that babies and children are less severely affected by the virus, many are concerned for the safety of their baby within the unfamiliar backdrop of COVID-19. It is understandable that fears persist when there are reports of pregnant women, children and midwives who have tragically lost their lives. This is the first blog where we will look at the impact of the pandemic on maternity services. Here we will focus on the safety implications of both low and high-risk women choosing to birth at home due to fears of contracting the virus in hospital. We also raise questions as to whether a blanket suspension of home birth services is putting some women and babies at greater risk.

    This briefing, from the Royal College of Midwives, sets out the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of women choosing to birth unassisted (freebirth). It highlights that anecdotal evidence suggests the number of women choosing to have their babies in this way is on the rise, due to a reduction in birth options. This briefing looks at the safety and legal implications, key guidance around freebirthing and lists some important considerations for midwives when caring for women who make this decision.

    This blog by Cancer Research UK, discusses some key themes emerging for cancer services during the pandemic – from screening and diagnosis to treatment and care. It is important that COVID-19’s impact on cancer services is recognised and discussed to ensure as few lives as possible are needlessly lost to cancer during the pandemic.

    We are all in lockdown, but COVID-19 seems to have been the spur to all sorts of imaginative behaviours on the ground. For example, NHS care delivery has been redesigned at a pace unimaginable in more stable times. Everywhere, volunteering is showing what it can do in the age of social media. However, in contrast those in and around Whitehall are responding poorly, says Mike Gill, former Regional Director of Public Health, South East England, in this BMJ blog. Effective crisis management demands flexibility and collaboration. We are seeing neither.

    AI health chatbots around the world have been racing to add coronavirus detection into algorithms or put up helpful information to demonstrate they are part of the response to coronavirus (COVID-19). But to be honest, it’s pointless. A symptom checker can’t diagnose you with COVID-19. That can only be done through testing. The symptoms are too close to cold and flu. However, Prof Dr. Maureen Baker, Chief Medical Officer at Your.MD and former Chair of the UK’s Royal College of General Practitioners, has been involved at the highest level of pandemic preparation planning in the UK for decades and she is clear that AI chatbots, like Your.MD, can play a vital role in reducing the number of people who unnecessarily seek medical treatment and the deaths of individuals who are endangered by symptoms unrelated to COVID-19. So, if AI health chatbots can’t reliably detect COVID-19 and should only advise you to stay at home, what else can they do? “They can work in tandem with governments and health services to stop the worried well not at risk from the virus from seeking treatment, and also support people to self-care where that is appropriate,” says Prof Baker. She thinks that with collaboration, there is enormous potential for chatbots to act as reliable companions providing guidance and tracking symptoms.
