Covid-19 in care homes – Latest intelligence from the frontline

Julian Evans,
head of healthcare,
Knight Frank

HealthInvestor UK’s weekly webinar featured a live interview and data session with one of the UK social care sector’s leading experts.

Vernon Baxter, managing director of Investor Publishing, interviewed Knight Frank’s head of healthcare – Julian Evans – to examine how the care home sector has reacted to the Covid-19 crisis, featuring data on how the system is coping and how the private sector’s response is supporting the health service’s battle to combat the virus.

In the past week, media attention has turned to the specific problems Covid-19 presents to the care home sector – from the relative scarcity of PPE equipment to the lack of testing and the increased fatality rate for those above 80 years in age.

In this session, Evans  shares observations and intelligence derived from Knight Frank’s market access and the management data of its client-base across the UK and from other global markets.
