5. Why is medicine so… medical? Long-term conditions

Bev Fitzsimons 24 June 2021 Podcast

Episode 5 of the Humanising Health and Care podcast.

Topics and programmes


Bev Fitzsimons asks what humanised healthcare looks like for people with long-term health conditions.

She meets three women whose long-term conditions mean they have needed to engage regularly with the system over an extended period. They share their experiences of long-term treatments (for sickle cell disease for two guests, and a long-term mental health condition for the other), and give their perspectives of the way the NHS works for them.
