Wellbeing - hot food on a night shift

The BMJ
About this episode
The issue of food on nightshifts is a perennial grumble in the NHS, and though it might seem trivial, what does it say of an organisation if they demand their staff work when they're hungry, and what is the onward implication for that on patient care?

To discuss all of these issues, we're joined by Neely Mozawala, a community specialist diabetes podiatrist, and Sahlia Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed, a gastroenterologist who have started the #24hrhotfoodfortheNHS campaign.
