Top doctor explains how technology helped GPs stay up-to-date as the Covid-19 pandemic hit

After more than two decades as a GP, Dr Gerry Morrow ended up playing a leading role providing up-to-date information on Covid-19 and its impact on the vulnerable to colleagues in primary care around the country.

Dr Morrow was a GP in Allendale until 2012, before becoming medical director at technology firm Agilio - which was then known as Clarity Infomatics. Passionate about the impact technology can have on primary care, he has - in that capacity - been responsible for overseeing a vital database of the latest health knowledge.

Agilio has responsibility for vital resources for GPs known as clinical knowledge summaries which are funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). These give those working in primary care the most up-to-date information about medical conditions, treatments and medications and are constantly reviewed by experts.
