Sharp Scratch

Reasons to be hopeful


Listen Later

With the rapid unfolding of recent events in medicine, from low pay to staffing crisis’ to the rapid changes to the face of our postgraduate training, it can be easy to lose all hope for the future - but is this really the case? A recent BMJ research paper found that cancer survival has doubled in the last fifty years, and that's one reason to be hopeful.

 

In this episode, the panel talk all about hope. What does 'hope' really mean? Is there any hope for a better future?

 

This week, the panel are joined by Anna Baverstock, a consultant paediatrician and wellbeing lead based in Somerset.
