The COVID NURSE team is a national collaboration between the universities of Exeter, Leicester, Nottingham, Southampton and King’s College London, as well as the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust and NHS Trusts in Leeds, London and Nottingham, and with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South West Peninsula.
Crucially, we also include patients in our team, so that we gain that all-important perspective from the people at the heart of everything we do.
