Description
General Practitioner (GP) data obtained by Public Health Scotland (PHS) under the auspices of the EAVE II surveillance platform have been central to the Scottish Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and were also essential for monitoring and quantifying the impact of the pandemic in Scotland.
The EAVE II work undertaken in Scotland, and the general benefits of being able to access and link data for surveillance purposes, have been recognised by the wider community and, more recently, were acknowledged as part of Sir Patrick Vallance’s response to the COVID-19 Public Inquiry.
