A nurse who was struck by Covid-19 near the start of the pandemic and was hospitalised for nine weeks says he is taking things “step by step” as he continues to recover. Franco Palo who contracted the virus at the age of 47 last year, was discharged from Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow on June 27, 2020 after his nine-week battle with the virus. After waking up more than a month later in intensive care, Mr Palo became around the 1,000th patient to be discharged at the London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. The senior charge nurse was cheered out of Northwick Park Hospital by his colleagues after initially overcoming the virus, but even now he still continues to suffer from the long-term effects of the virus.

Volunteers are needed for a new plant-based Covid vaccine to be trialled at Northwick Park Hospital.
Medicago, a biopharmaceutical company based in Canada, and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) are launching the Phase 3 randomised, observer blinded, placebo-controlled study at the London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWUH).
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)-supported study is the first to test a plant-derived Covid-19 vaccine candidate, and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Coronavirus-Like Particle COVID-19 Vaccine (CoVLP).
Over the next four to six weeks the group are looking for 1,500 healthy volunteers aged between 18 and 39 who will receive an active study vaccine dose.
