BCS Statement
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense pressure on the national health service, with frontline hospital services re-organised to handle the surge in cases. This re-organisation has had a wider impact on non-emergency procedures.
The British Cardiovascular Society has issued a statement highlighting the (intended or unintended) implications of cancelling cardiac procedures and sets out its recommendation for the interventions that should take priority as the backlog of procedures is addressed.
