## Description

In response to Covid-19, it was important to protect patients and staff and minimise the risk of infection\. It was therefore important to rapidly implement digital solutions to support clinicians to triage and consult with patients remotely, and to also support clinicians and other staff to work remotely\. This required rapid acceleration of the aims of the Digital First programme to deliver key capabilities to all GP practices in England where they do not currently have them\. Mobilisation at pace and at scale to support the introduction of 'total triage' or 'triage first' across all practices was necessary to support the response to Covid-19\.
