Just Chattin'

Hi, long time no episode. This episode with Megan is about Medical Ethics and how they are upheld, public health campaigns and our thoughts on them and finally the treatment of Doctors and Nurses during this pandemic. This episode was recorded early November hence the speculation about the future vaccine and future Covid related Christimas ads haha. 

In the Episode we mention how poorly Doctors and Nurses have been treated both before and during this pandemic due to the governments lack of investment and caring into their physical and mental wellbeing and into the NHS as a whole. 

A campaign #ThunderClapForCarers started by Jack Monroe at @BootstrapCook on twitter has started in the wake of England's third Lockdown. Instead of appluading essential workers every Thursday at 8pm you write to your MP demanding PPE, protection, parking and higher pay. 

If you are struggling what to write @GinamartinUK on twitter is drafting tweets, and emails to send to your MP every Thursday. And @BestForBritain have made a page linked below making contacting your MP even easier.

Thank you for listening, stay safe and well and please please please fight for the safety and wellbeing of the Doctors and Nurses during this pandemic and forever.

Here below are links and resources to help:

Unless your MP is a black person write to your MP asking them to respond properly to the BAME Covid19 report, to suspend any UK exports to the US that are being used by Police in the protests, about the current police brutality in the UK and including Black History in the education system
