Special issue: Telehealth

In this special issue of BJGP Open led by Guest Editor Dr Sarah White, we focus on digital communication in health care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We present a two-part series that includes primary research articles as well as policy and opinion pieces from a global perspective. The collection captures how primary health care has responded during this period to promote access, continuity, comprehensiveness, and care that is both coordinated and person-focused, and the impact this has had on health and social care.
