Medical schools globally do not have sufficient numbers of graduates choosing primary care. Sahota and colleagues spoke to 51 medical students in Canada and the UK to explore this further. Their findings suggest that medical students often perceive primary care as a less intellectually stimulating discipline, associating it with teaching rather than seeing it as an academic or research-based specialty.

Given the high rates of complications and mortality from COVID-19, there has been substantial interest in repurposing of drugs for treatment. A group from the University of Oxford has carried two rapid reviews of the literature, examining the evidence for the use of azithromycin, and of hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine to treat COVID-19. Their findings highlight a paucity of evidence to justify either treatment, especially from clinical trials.

Coding COVID-19: standardising data for better monitoring

Here, de Lusignan and Williams outline best practice for primary care professionals: the clinical concepts to be recorded, the temporary codes that are currently in use, and the definitive codes that should replace them.
