During the subsequent weeks, the rising number of new COVID-19 cases and hospital admissions in the UK resulted in increased pressures on the national health service (NHS). COVID-19 has brought new challenges for interventional radiology (IR), both in terms of workflow and IR preparedness; however, IR has continued to provide acute and emergency treatments due to the unique value that IR has to offer in terms of adaptability and offering minimally invasive procures (MIPs), the majority of which are done under local anaesthetic which are not aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) [2, 3] . Three out of the six sites report a decrease in workload, whereas the other 50% have performed more cases in the acute setting when compared to the pre-COVID-19 time period.	./cache/cord-277880-g0c6jchg.txt	./txt/cord-277880-g0c6jchg.txt
