The Future of the NHS After Covid
Season 3, Episode 9, Jun 03, 2021, 09:37 AM
While the NHS rose to the challenge of the Covid crisis, the impact of the pandemic on the nation’s health is now becoming clear, with millions missing out on hospital treatment, and thousands more suffering Covid-related health problems.

- Immediate challenges faced by the NHS
- How the NHS is managing ‘burnout’ among staff
- Tackling the pandemic backlog of ‘missing patients’
- Addressing patient health inequalities
- The role of employers in supporting workforce health post-pandemic
