The COVID-19 pandemic has led to radical transformations in the organisation
and delivery of health and care services across the world. In many countries,
policy makers have rushed to re-organise care services to meet the surge demand
of COVID-19, from re-purposing existing services to creating new 'field' hospitals.
Such strategies signal important and sweeping changes in the organisation of
both 'COVID' and 'non-COVID' care, whilst asking more fundamental questions
about the long-term organisation of care 'after COVID'. In some contexts, the
pandemic has exposed the fragilities and vulnerabilities of care systems, whilst
in others, it has shown how services are organised to be more resilient and
adaptive to unanticipated pressures.
