Summary

COVID-19 has put the NHS under the spotlight as never before but how many of us really understand the true state of this national treasure? ROY LILLEY is one of the most influential voices in the world of public health. Today he explains the catastrophic errors on the road to Corona, what the outpouring of love and respect for NHS workers means for its future, how the NHS compares to other health systems worldwide… and what must happen if the NHS is to survive. WARNING: Andrew Lansley should probably not listen to this podcast. “I travel the world and the one thing everyone says to me is, We wish we had your system.” “The NHS is holding its collective breath as to what’s to come.” “This is the biggest challenge since 5 July 1948 when the NHS was born. This is its day and this is its hour.” “That round of applause changed the status of the NHS forever. There is no politician who can touch it now.” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
