The Impact of COVID-19 on Oncology Professionals
This survey, developed by the ESMO Resilience Task Force in collaboration with the ESMO Young Oncologists Committee, ESMO Women for Oncology Committee, ESMO Leaders Generation Programme Alumni Members and the OncoAlert Network, evaluated how oncologists and other oncology professionals across the world were affected by both the personal and professional challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak, assessing changes to routine practices, well-being and current levels of support.
It was conducted in April/May 2020. The findings were presented during the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020, and published in ESMO Open.
