The Future of Healthcare Orlando Agrippa

I am joined by Ade Odunlade, Director at Central North West London. The discussion covers the effect of Covid-19 on the BME community, opportunities for collaboration across the health system, the evolution of the workforce, the ripple effect of C-19 on the mental health of both the NHS and the general population, and finally as we begin to look forward – what recovery and restoration looks like.

‘What does C-19 recovery mean for Central and North West London? What is the drumbeat for mental health across the UK?’
