  • Researchers from UCL, London, have generated a tool that provides a framework for objective risk stratification of doctors and healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, without requiring disclosure of information that an individual may not wish to share with their direct line manager during the risk assessment process.
  • The tool has been made freely available through the British Medical Association website (https://www.bma.org.uk/media/3820/bma-covid-19-risk-assessment-tool-february-2021.pdf) and is widely used in the National Health Service and other external organisations.
