Experiences of Health & Care in Bradford during the first phase of COVID-19

This report sets out the findings of a survey we conducted from 30th March to 29th June 2020.

Summary

The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has affected all areas of our lives. We wanted to find out how people were experiencing treatment if they contracted the virus, how the impact of COVID-19 was affecting their health and care of pre-existing conditions  in order to help local NHS and social care services shape their response.

Our findings include:

  • Difficulties in accessing clear and accessible information about COVID-19
  • Confusion regarding shielding rules and processes
  • Lockdown’s effects on mental health and difficulties accessing mental health services for new and existing service users.
