The patient issue

The BMJ
About this episode

We celebrate 10 years of patient and public partnership strategy at The BMJ with a patient-centred podcast.
We ask how should the new Labour government engage patients in shaping the future of the NHS. We also dive into the concepts of social care and peer support, and learn from Brazil's experience in social participation.

Highlights:

01:52 - The Patient "takeover"
05:43 - Social care with Charlotte Augst
19:53 - Peer support groups with Claire Reid and Partha Kar
31:48 - WHO’s resolution on social participation with Mark Barone
