Advisory Body to Department of Health and Social Care 

The secretariat to the Scientific Pandemic Influenza group on Modelling (SPI-M) has provided the interface between world-leading mathematical epidemiologists and the government throughout the pandemic, driving and maintaining science-led decision-making.

The team's work has helped underpin the government's COVID-19 decisions and been prominent in public discourse throughout the pandemic, but the team itself has been out of the limelight, consistently producing work of extraordinary quality under huge pressure.

It's been a full team effort, with brilliant staff working brilliantly together, across government and with the scientific community.
