COVID SURG CANCER - a National/International cohort study has opened, assessing the impact of COVID19 on Surgery, and more specifically for us, on Head & Neck Surgery.

This data is expected to translate into rapid guidance on the safety (or otherwise) of our current swiftly evolving clinical practice (Output expected – April 2020).
CovidSurg Cancer/HN will determine:

- the impact on COVID-19 infection on H&N outcomes;
- delays / de-escalation to H&N surgery caused by the pandemic and consequent impact on oncological outcomes;
- safety of H&N surgery to surgeons and HCW
