This episode we host two expert guests Dr Mahmoud Bhutta and Jasmin Abbott to talk about social sustainability in healthcare.  We highlight the link between NHS supply chains and modern slavery, discuss the scale of this problem in the NHS, and identify what we can do as healthcare professionals to tackle it.

Dr Bhutta is the founder of BMA medical fair and ethical trade group, consultant ENT surgeon and advisor to the WHO on global ear disease. Jasmin Abbot is a final year medical student at the University of Cambridge who has done work with Dr Bhutta to investigate NHS supply chains.
