Professor Patel talks to me about the gaps in PPE. But rather than in supply and access, in the form of the kit itself.

Doctors like Patel have to undertake high viral load procedures, and there is a potential risk involved that is uncovered in this show. One which the design community could address to help save our clinicians from infection.

Listen and act. A call to those such as Innovate UK , KTN, Nesta and RSA, how do we get this message to people who can design and resolve this gap, and fast?
