1st August 2023 -  A paper on Process modelling of NHS cardiovascular waiting lists in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been published in BMJ Open. This follows the February 2021 Virtual Study Group on Modelling Solutions to the Impact of COVID-19 on Cardiovascular Waiting Lists. The paper looks to model the referral, diagnostic and treatment pathway for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the English National Health Service (NHS) to provide commissioners and managers with a methodology to optimise patient flow and reduce waiting lists

14th November 2022 - A paper on Getting the most out of maths: How to coordinate mathematical modelling research to support a pandemic, lessons learnt from three initiatives that were part of the COVID-19 response in the UK has been published in the Elsevier Journal of Theoretical Biology. This describes three initiatives (V-KEMS, IDP research programme and RAMP) that sought to address the challenge of coordinating the wider research interest so as to enhance the UK’s capacity to provide mathematical modelling research to support scientific advice to the UK government.
