Spotlight: Covid-19
The Bevan Commission's response to the Covid-19 pandemic
We live in unprecedented times and Covid–19 is affecting lives locally, nationally, and globally. The Bevan Commission has utilised the expertise it has available through its Bevan Commissioners, Bevan Advocates, Bevan Exemplars and Bevan Fellows, to best effect for people in Wales and wider afield. We will continue to observe, analyse, interpret and comment on the situation with a view to securing a better way forward and a vision fit for the future. As part of this work we have produced a series of opinion pieces addressing a range of relevant Covid-19 issues as well as capturing the experiences of people, new learning and other opportunities as they evolve.
In Place Of Fear
Our Witness Statement In Place of Fear – Forging a Sustainable Recovery (Better Future) for Health and Care in Wales lays out how we will learn from and respond to the challenges and opportunities created by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prudent Healthcare and Covid-19
Watch Bevan Commissioner Professor Don Berwick discuss how the principles of prudent healthcare can help NHS Wales recover from and reset after the coronavirus pandemic.
Doing Things Differently
