Older adults, especially older adults with multimorbidities, are at increased risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19. General practitioners (GPs) in the UK were interviewed about how COVID-19 policies affected care of older adult patients with multimorbidities in their practices. Five major themes emerged: changes in primary care, involvement of GPs in policy making, communication and coordination, worries and stressors, and suggestions for improvement across the first four themes. COVID-19 policies have provided opportunities to continue providing safe healthcare for older adults with medical complexities, but they also highlight possible areas for improvement.
