In this episode, we spoke with Sarah Entwistle, an Inclusion Health nurse practitioner working for an NHS Trust to support asylum seekers and other vulnerable groups. In this episode, Sarah highlights some crucial issues, including:

· Asylum seekers’ experiences of overcrowded temporary accommodation and their challenges of self-isolating during COVID-19

· The impact of issues around accessing healthcare on the mental health of destitute asylum seekers;

· The scramble for adequate PPE provision for the UK’s healthcare workers;

· How everyone can play a part in advocating for the most marginalised communities during this time and beyond.

Sarah has helpfully produced an FAQs document for people who want to find out more about the impact of COVID-19 on marginalised communities, which can be accessed along with a full transcription of this podcast, on hacktheatre.co.uk
