A ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ team led by and intensive care consultant of the (CCAIM) is calling for urgent research into the striking differences in COVID-19 deaths they have discovered between the intensive care units of NHS trusts across England.

Intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy is likely to increase dramatically over the next few weeks, suggests research published by a team at the ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ.
