This webinar forms part of the programme of work of LTCcovid.org. LTCcovid aims to document the impact of COVID-19 on people who rely on long-term care (including unpaid care) and those who provide it, share information about policy and practice measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in long-term care and gather evidence about their success or otherwise, and analyse the long-term implications of this pandemic for long-term care policy.
