Co-VIDA: A digital wellbeing tool to assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on NHS healthcare professionals

Evidence suggests worsening of mental health in health workers reduces quality of care they provide and also promotes absenteeism or even resignations. Changes in mental health wellbeing during pandemics may be linked to specific risk or protective factors – and there is intrinsic value in understanding these. Recent work from China on health workers revealed elevated anxiety, depression, insomnia and trauma – however given the key differences in Chinese and UK health systems, and shortfalls in that study suggest new research should urgently be done in the UK to understand the impact of COVID on NHS and non-NHS health workers.

Long and short term effects of standard of care treatments for people with cancer

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI) are drugs that release cancer immunity. ICPI cause immune attack on normal organs resulting in immune related adverse events (IrAE) including bowel inflammation called immune related colitis (IR-colitis). We will describe the clinical and pathological features of IR-colitis, exploring a role for viruses including Epstein Barr virus (EBV) which lives harmlessly in most people. More broadly, the study will explore clinical, pathological and microbiological features associated with ICPI treatment, cancer control and IrAE.
