Another pandemic, 104 years before I met Jenny Slough to talk about it but the parallels with 1918 Dublin and 2020/21 London are uncannily familiar.  We talk about Emma Donoghue's brilliant Novel The Pull of the Stars and find shared comfort in remembering that pandemics whilst usually once in a lifetime are events which have happened before and history allows us to start to feel reassured there will be an after.

Jenny's own experiences of redeployment which we touch on in this episode are beautifully and thoughtfully explored here  in an NHS living well podcast:  https://keepingwellncl.nhs.uk/podcast/in-conversation-with-jenny-family-liaison/
