FORTNIGHTLY BRIEFING 6TH OCT 2023
21 Oct 2023
Independent SAGE is a group of scientists who are working together to provide independent scientific advice to the UK government and public on how to minimise deaths and support Britain’s recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.
We believe openness and transparency leads to better understanding and better decision making. We also believe it the responsibility of scientists and those with specialist knowledge to engage with the public and policy makers, in order to ensure that science benefits all of society.
Every Two Weeks, on Friday at 1.30pm, we hold a public live-streamed briefing giving UK COVID-19 updates and answering questions from the public and the press. As of 9th April 2021, detailed data updates will be every two weeks with non-data weeks concentrating on specific policy questions, with special external guests. You can watch all of our public briefings on our YouTube Channel.
Follow us on Twitter to find out topics of the week and submit questions for the scientists. To submit questions for our Friday briefings please email: questions@independentsage.org
The consultation period for reports is typically two weeks. To give feedback on any recent consultation documents please email: reports@independentsage.org
For media enquiries, please email manasa@the-citizens.com
