Abstract
The WHO declaration on 11th March 2020 of COVID 19 as a global pandemic and the forecast by Imperial College, London of 20,000 expected deaths in UK, there was intense pressure on the intensive care units in the UK to increase their capacity and services. This meant that gaining new knowledge to manage this disease with constantly changing strategies was required and was a challenge. The discussion is on the experience gained by the author during the pandemic in UK.
