A holiday and a visit from a friend set in motion a series of events that no-one could have anticipated. GP Dr Bob Levin shares his account of being one of the first people in the UK to be isolated because of COVID-19. Listen to what helped him.

London has a hugely complex and challenging homelessness issue and the most recent statistics make for sober reading.

Key to either improving people’s lives and lessening the NHS burden – or, inadvertently continuing the cycle – is how discharge of homeless patients is managed.

This episode looks to examine the picture in London, get perspectives from service users, providers and those who want to transform the current system.

Joining the discussion is Jemma Gilbert, Director of Transformation for Healthy London Partnership, Olani Nemera, a Peer Advocate for Groundswell, Kendra Schneller, a Nurse Practitioner with the Health Inclusion Team at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, Adrian McLachlan, GP and Chair of Lambeth CCG and Jane Cook, National Advisor on Homeless Health for the Government’s Rough Sleeping Initiative.
