Impact of Covid and Recovery
Dr Sarah ForbesAssociate Medical Director
Building healthier communities
How does it feel?
Thought about GP, but thought it would be closed. Thought
111 would take a long time. ED only 5 mins away so just
Went to Shakespeare walk-in but waiting time was quite long, so went to ED. Not an emergency
but wanted to understand why I can’t take my tablets. GP wait is a long time and couldn’t research it
online.
I live in woodhouse so A+E is quite handy for me.

The perfect storm• Covid 19 numbers• Children’s respiratory virus surge• Additional presentations in all settings for a variety of conditions• Increased acuity of presentations in some settings (including cardiac,
mental health) which appear to be linked to late presentations• Norovirus • Flu vaccine challenges

Infection RateInfection Rate per 100,000 Population -7 Day Rolling Avg. Laboratory-Confirmed
Building healthier communities
Covid predicted course• Sept – Oct: 40-50% of previous peak activity in terms of bed
occupancy, likely higher end for HDU/ITU occupancy• Nov – Dec: Higher activity unless boosters better than predicted
effect (we will know in the next few weeks - trials awaited)• Jan – Mar: Higher activity regardless of boosters. Some predictions
of 60-70% of peak but likely to be varied• If new variant - very worst case scenario is worse than peak, but it all
depends on government response
Building healthier communities
Flu predicted course• Likely earlier season (as we have had for Noro and RSV). Greatest
risk is in care homes and long stay wards. • If vaccine uptake good, it will be a normal winter (higher in
December- March with peak in January). • Last year achieved 83% against a 75% target• If lower uptake or a duff vaccine then it will be worst winter – 6 weeks
of intense activity from Mid December to end of January (unless curve shifts as it has for Noro and RSV)
Building healthier communities
School and Universities• Schools return = possible increase case numbers for covid (although
not so far….)• Absences due to household isolation/child care• Current expectation is that this will continue throughout the half term• Concern is subsequent impact on older population• Universities return = large rise in cases in areas where the rate is
already high in that age group• Should not impact on absences/isolation
Building healthier communities
Risks / Constraints• Workforce
• Recruitment, retention and resilience
• Social distancing / IPC measures in clinical settings• Return of national restrictions
• Estate and Infrastructure (e.g. oxygen supply)• Financial pressure• Achieving planned activity levels• Vaccination programmes• Resilience & sustainability of care home and domiciliary sector
Building healthier communities
Good news/innovation• Strong partnership working• Commitment to doing what we can for the people of Leeds• Constantly striving for better• Examples:
• Maximising technology: for booking appts and to facilitate out patient appts• GP front door for ED department• GP in reach to elderly wards at LTHT

Cllr John Illingworth, Leeds City Council asks:• “It is generally acknowledged that Children’s Play and enjoyable Physical
Activity in children and adults are important both for childhood development and for a long and healthy adult life. The opportunities for such activities vary considerably in different areas of Leeds, where there is scope for compensatory provision that might help to “narrow the gap”.
• Will the CCG consider joining with local Universities and Leeds City Council in mapping existing provision per head of population, and developing a realistic model of consumer choice, with a view to identifying areas where additional resources might be expected to yield the greatest benefit?”
