The quotation on the front cover is from a BJGPLife.com interview with Richard Horton. It is a ringing endorsement of primary care from a global health perspective and an affirmation for those teaching general practice worldwide. Our Clinical Solutions platform (https://bjgp.org/covid19clinicalsolutions), created in response to the current crisis, enables colleagues to share innovative ideas. Practice based initiatives range from using 3D printers to produce protective visors, to videos showing doctors and patients how to navigate COVID-19 centres. Our multimedia platform on BJGPLife.com allows us to be agile and responsive with some fascinating stories from around the world and compelling video interviews. It’s a major challenge for a monthly journal to respond to such rapid changes to practice but, in this issue, we focus on urgent care, our letters deal with the COVID-19 response, and Azeem Majeed and his colleagues challenge us to ask if doctors over the age of 60 years should have been brought in to serve on the front line.
