What exactly is 'phantom pain' and how does it work? Hannah and Dara investigate a medical phenomenon that's been known about for centuries but is often misunderstood; and involves masses of unanswered questions.The condition 'phantom pain' is when someone gets a sensation of pain that feels like it's coming from a part of their body that's no longer there - so that could be an amputated limb, or perhaps something that has been removed, such as a tooth or an organ. It's thought to be caused by how the brain and body process pain and physical awareness, but there's still debate around what exactly is going on neurologically.Researchers around the world are looking into the condition; in the meantime, people who experience phantom pain - like today's studio guest Lynn - often have to try out a range of treatments, to find out what combination works best for them. But as the team discover, pain is deeply subjective - and in this case, there is really no 'right answer'...Contributors: - Tamar Makin, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambridge, where she leads the Plasticity Lab; - Lynn Williams, a qualified therapist and upper limb amputee who volunteered as a subject for one of Tamar's research programmes; - Carlos Roldan, Associate Professor in the Department of Pain Medicine at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center; - Keren Fisher, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist who's worked in the NHS for more than four decades; largely in pain management at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.Producers: Emily Bird & Lucy Taylor Executive Producer: Alexandra FeachemA BBC Studios Audio Production

Resident doctors in England have begun five days of strike action after rejecting the government's latest offer to resolve a long-running dispute over pay and jobs. The health secretary, Wes Streeting, met the British Medical Association on Tuesday in a final attempt to reach an agreement, but they failed to agree a deal. It means that resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors – will remain on strike until 7am on Monday.

Friends, Lovers, Listeners. Happy Wednesday, Happy Hump Day and Happy Sex on the Peach Day. Here we are with the penultimate episode of Season 4 of Sex on the Peach, with the Season Finale coming on Xmas Eve, just in time to stop talking about sex out of respect for our dear old Virgin Mary. And given that this weeks conversation is all about contraception, The Virgin Mary is not a useful case study because bless her, all the divine intervention in the world couldn't prevent that pregnancy. For the rest of us, abstinence does actually remain a highly effective pregnancy prevention method. But for the majority of adults, sex is part of life, and so contraception is a really important conversation. So today we're going to talk about what works, what people pretend works, what no one warns you about, and why “hope” remains the most popular method in the UK. And this isn't a medical lecture. I'm not here to read out NHS leaflets in a calm voice while you dissociate. This is a reality check. Because one of the sexiest things you can bring to bed isn't just confidence, or enthusiasm. It's preparation. Here is...It's A NexplaNO From Me.Sex On The Peach is a completely inclusive, open, judgement free zone. However you identify - both in your gender and sexuality, whatever race, age, size, ability, religion you are - everyone is welcome here, and I hope that at some point in an episode we will touch on something you can relate to and resonate with.Please like, follow, share, review and subscribe to stay in the loop of all future episodes, and you can also follow me on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube @sexonthepeachcast.

As healthcare systems worldwide face rising costs, workforce shortages, and increasing pressure to balance quality with financial sustainability, traditional classroom-based management education is struggling to keep pace. According to the World Economic Forum, healthcare spending now accounts for nearly 10% of global GDP, making leadership decision-making more consequential—and more complex—than ever. At the same time, educators and executives alike are searching for ways to prepare leaders for real-world uncertainty, not just theoretical case studies.So how do you train healthcare leaders to make better decisions when the stakes are high, the data is imperfect, and the environment is constantly changing?That's the core question explored in the latest episode of I Don't Care, hosted by Dr. Kevin Stevenson, featuring Jeremy Lovelace, Founding Director of HFX Technologies Group. Stevenson and Lovelace dive into how simulation-based healthcare management education is reshaping the way future and current healthcare leaders learn strategy, finance, and human-centered decision-making—across borders, systems, and sectors.Key Takeaways from the Conversation…Simulation over static cases: Dynamic, financially driven simulations provide a more realistic and measurable way to train healthcare decision-makers than traditional case competitions or lectures.Global adaptability: A simulation originally modeled on a leading Brazilian hospital has proven effective across diverse systems, including U.S. health systems, European providers, and the UK's NHS.Human skills under pressure: Beyond financial metrics, simulations reveal leadership gaps in teamwork, stress management, and judgment under uncertainty—often the most powerful learning outcomes.Jeremy Lovelace is the Founding Director of HFX Technologies Group, a firm specializing in simulation-based training for strategic and financial decision-making. With a background in management consulting and decision science, Lovelace has worked extensively with universities, healthcare organizations, and public-sector institutions across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. His work includes partnerships with global business schools such as University College London and simulations inspired by top-tier healthcare institutions like Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Brazil. Lovelace holds an MBA and brings decades of experience in leadership development, education technology, and applied strategy.

Health Secretary is furious as resident Doctors ignore his pleas and vote unanimously for a 5 day walk out in the run up to Christmas, Trump is suing the BBC for defamation, and can anyone get an NHS dentist?

Episode 104 - Don't drift into 2026: The annual review that sets you up for your best year yetSUMMARY SECTION As leaders, it's easy to drift from one year into the next without ever truly stopping to reflect.

The "evil" mass shooting at Bondi Beach was the latest in a rising number of antisemitic attacks.16 people died in the attack in Sydney, Australia. They were Jews who had gathered to celebrate the first night of Chanukah. Among them, a holocaust survivor and a ten-year old girl.Antisemitic attacks are on the rise. In this year to September, Australia recorded 1654 anti-semitic incidents. That's three times higher than any year before the war in Gaza.Here in the UK, Jews faced over 1,500 attacks in the first half of 2025, according to data from the Community Security Trust. That's the second-highest total in the first half of any year on record, and includes the terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester in which two people died. In July, a report authored by Lord John Mann & Penny Mordaunt found “widespread failures to address anti-jewish discrimination in NHS, education, arts and policing”.

STARMER: Stand Down Now to Save the UK | General Election NOW  #Starmer #UKPolitics #LabourParty #StarmerOUT #GeneralElection #JonGaunt #Live Keir  Starmer's end-of-year review has exposed a brutal truth: he may be Prime Minister, but he is not in control.  Approval ratings in the gutter. A Labour Party briefing against its own leader. MPs openly restless. And now, heading into Christmas, doctors preparing to strike, pushing the NHS deeper into chaos. Starmer promised seriousness, authority and competence.  What the country is seeing instead is drift, division and weakness. Borders still not secure. Small boats still crossing. A so-called "one-in, one-out" deal with France that sounds tough but delivers little. Leadership pledges quietly abandoned. Principles rewritten when they become inconvenient.  Even Starmer himself admitted today that his leadership is under strain — a staggering admission from a man sold as the "safe pair of hands".  This is leadership by press release. Government without grip. A Prime Minister in office but not in control. Everything he touches seems to go wrong — the reverse Midas touch. And now his own MPs are circling, because they know what the public already feels: this government is running on empty.  Britain cannot afford paralysis, party games and permanent crisis. If Starmer cannot lead, he should stand down. If this government cannot govern, the people must decide. General Election NOW.  

In this episode of Mark and Pete, we take a clear-eyed look at three stories that reveal how badly modern Britain and the wider West now struggle with value, authority, and fear.We begin with the theft of more than 600 artefacts from a Bristol museum. Individually, the items are of little monetary worth, but collectively they represent something far more important: history, memory, and inheritance. We ask what motivates a crime like this, what the thieves can possibly do with such objects, and what it says about a culture that no longer understands the difference between price and worth.Next, we turn to Australia's decision to ban children from using social media. The policy lasted about five minutes before children worked around it. We explore why governments repeatedly try to legislate formation, why this always fails, and why parenting, presence, and moral training cannot be outsourced to the state or to technology.Finally, we look at the latest flu outbreak and the familiar NHS response: emergency language, crisis messaging, and calls for public alarm. We discuss the difference between prudence and panic, why institutions now rely on fear to function, and how Christians are called to respond to illness and risk with steadiness rather than hysteria.We reflect on Proverbs 22:6 — “Train up a child in the way he should go” — and consider what happens when societies stop training, start panicking, and forget what really matters.

In this week's episode we're taking a close look at the New Hospital Programme, a programme which has been described as perhaps the most ambitious National Health Service infrastructure investment in decades.The NHP programme is tasked with delivering a new generation of state-of-the-art hospitals across England. At its core is Hospital 2.0, a standardised, repeatable and industrialised approach to hospital design and delivery that promises greater certainty, faster construction, improved quality, predictable costs, and cutting-edge clinical environments. To explain the programme and how it will be delivered, I am joined by Doug Baldock, Technical Services Director, and Emily King, Director of Industrialisation at the NHP, two leaders central to shaping the technical, commercial and industrial strategy underpinning Hospital 2.0. And with a long-term pipeline backed by rolling five-year funding envelopes averaging around £3 billion a year from 2030, the programme aligns with the Government's wider Industrial Strategy and aims not only to modernise the NHS estate but to boost innovation, strengthen supply chains and support economic growth across the UK.The scale of this challenge is immense: dozens of complex hospital schemes, varied site conditions, urgent RAAC rebuilds – and, of course, the need to rebuild public and industry confidence after years of delay and uncertainty. Yet with clearer planning assumptions, a 12-year £37bn Hospital 2.0 Alliance procurement, and deep engagement with suppliers, the programme now seeks to unlock the capability and investment needed for a sustainable long-term programme.Well let's find out what it means in reality..Resources New Hospital Programme: Plan for ImplementationGovernment hospital investment press release Supplier Guide.Egan review 1998Latham review 1994

​​Today, the Prime Minister Keir Starmer has written in the Guardian Newspaper urging members of the British Medical Association to rethink planned strikes. ​​ ​​Possible strikes coincide with flu-related illnesses and hospitalisations at a higher rate than usual for this time of year, which have led to worries that a strike would lead to problems for the NHS. ​​ ​​Also, Laura has spoken to the new chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson. Since the Supreme Court ruling over the definition of a woman in April they have been working on new guidance on who can access single-sex spaces.

Baroness Amos, who was appointed by the Health Secretary to lead an independent rapid investigation into NHS maternity and neonatal care in England, has said nothing prepared her for the scale of 'unacceptable care' that women and families have received. Presenter Krupa Padhy is joined by the BBC's Social Affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan and Theo Clarke, former Conservative MP who also chaired the UK Birth Trauma Inquiry and hosts the podcast, Breaking the Taboo, to discuss the review and what comes next.Wages for housework was a feminist mantra in the West in the 1970s – feminist campaigners arguing for recognition of the economic value of domestic labour. The debate has been revived in India over the last decade with an estimated 118 million women across 12 states now receiving unconditional cash transfers from their governments. Devina Gupta, a reporter based in Delhi, and Professor Prabha Kotiswaran from King's College in London unpick the impact of ‘wages for housework' on women's lives and the Indian economy.When Kaitlin Lawrence was just 22 years old, she collapsed whilst playing netball for the then Super League side Surrey Storm. She was eventually diagnosed with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a genetic condition she never knew she had. Following this, she was forced to give up her dream of playing professionally for Scotland and has gone on to successfully campaign to get cardiac screening introduced in the Netball Super League next season. She tells Anita her story. They were joined by Presenter Gabby Logan, whose younger brother died suddenly at the age of 15 years old from an undiagnosed heart condition.

In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, we dive deep into the complex and often unspoken corners of mental health recovery. We explore the psychology behind why some individuals experience persistent suicidal thoughts without the intent to act and discuss strategies for navigating friendships that inadvertently trigger eating disorder relapses or competition. I also open up about the ethics of plastic surgery when dealing with body dysmorphia , the "push-pull" dynamic in therapy often associated with BPD and attachment wounds , and share my professional perspective on gender-affirming care and the importance of therapeutic support. Finally, we analyze a shocking listener story about a therapist allowing a date in their office, breaking down the major red flags of blurred boundaries. My new book is in stores now!

The NHS is warning of a worst-case scenario over Christmas as an "unprecedented wave of super flu" drives infections across the country. An average of 2,660 patients were in hospital a day with flu last week - the highest ever for this time of year and up 55% on the week before. There is no peak in sight - so what's caused the predominant H3N2 strain to emerge and can the NHS cope with the extra pressure? Niall is joined by NHS GP and health educator Dr Raj Arora and Sky's science correspondent Thomas Moore. Producer: Tom Gillespie Editor: Mike Bovill

There is a world of difference between the NHS from its beginnings in 1948 and the NHS as it is now.

Dame Emma Walmsley, Chief Executive one of Britain's biggest pharmaceutical companies GSK (GlaxoSmithKline), says the company is prioritising the United States for product launches and investment, citing its scale, commercial opportunities and favourable business environment. She confirms GSK will invest four times more in the US than in the UK over the coming years, making America the company's primary growth and innovation focus.Explaining GSK's investment strategy, Dame Emma Walmsley points to the US market's scale and competitiveness, boosted by recent government policy. She welcomes a new UK-US agreement removing tariffs and recognising pharmaceutical innovation, but warns of challenges for Britain's life sciences sector. Despite the UK's strong scientific heritage, she notes it accounts for just 2% of GSK's sales, compared with more than half in the US.Dame Emma Walmsley stresses the UK must stay competitive to attract foreign investment, warning that other countries increasingly treat life sciences as a strategic industry. She confirms the UK will pay more for medicines under the new agreement, with NHS costs for new drugs expected to rise by 25%. While medicines make up only 9% of NHS spending—lower than in many countries—she acknowledges budget pressures and the need for careful prioritisation.Dame Emma Walmsley also reveals GSK is close to winning approval for the world's first six-monthly asthma drug, expected to cut the most severe attacks requiring hospitalisation by more than 70%. She calls the breakthrough a major advance for patients and healthcare systems, with the potential to deliver significant cost savings and improve quality of life for millions worldwide. She also comments on the surge in obesity and weight-loss treatments, noting GSK is not a major player but admires the scientific progress. Instead, the company is focusing on high-burden diseases such as liver disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with trials under way and hopes for further breakthroughs.Finally, Dame Emma Walmsley reflects on a turbulent period when activist investors questioned her leadership and forced her to reapply for her own job, amid concerns over GSK's share price performance versus rivals.Presenter: Simon Jack Producer: Ollie Smith/ Olie D'Albertanson00:00 Sean Farrington and BBC Business Editor Simon Jack intro pod 03:00 Dame Emma Walmsley joins the pod 03:53 Change agenda & US market focus and investment 07:18 New asthma drug approval on the horizon 08:19 GSK's scale and global impact 12:03 GSK to invest four times more in the US than the UK 14:54 UK to pay more for drugs after UK-US deal 16:56 GSK new asthma drug breakthrough 19:48 GSK's approach to obesity and weight loss drugs 28:23 Women in leadership at GSK 32:47 Shareholder revolt and leadership challenges

Baroness Amos, who was appointed by the Health Secretary to lead an independent rapid investigation into NHS maternity and neonatal care in England, has said nothing prepared her for the scale of "unacceptable care" that women and families have received. Presenter Krupa Padhy is joined by the BBC's Social Affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan and Theo Clarke, former Conservative MP who also chaired the UK Birth Trauma Inquiry and hosts the podcast, Breaking the Taboo, to discuss those initial reflections and what comes next. We examine a new report which highlights the crucial role of strength training and exercise for people on weight loss drugs. Data gathered by fitness professionals, Les Mills and the not-for-profit industry body, ukactive, shows the impact of weight loss drugs on skeletal muscle mass. Their report says that 20-50% of weight loss is lean body mass, which poses significant health risks such as frailty, disability, reduced metabolism, and increased mortality. Physiotherapist Lucy McDonald and Dr Sarah Jarvis join Krupa to discuss the importance of strength training to mitigate muscle loss. Yesterday, nurse Sandie Peggie, who objected to sharing a female changing room with a transgender doctor, won part of her employment tribunal against NHS Fife. She was suspended from her job after she confronted Dr Beth Upton in 2023. The tribunal ruled she was harassed by NHS Fife but other allegations of discrimination and victimisation were dismissed. We hear more from Lorna Gordon, the BBC's Scotland Correspondent, who has been following the case. From Kate Garraway's iconic jumper on The Celebrity Traitors to Lily Allen's album launch dress, bows are everywhere right now. But are they practical or a deliberate gesture of femininity? And why have we seen this resurgence of bows in fashion? The Guardian's fashion and lifestyle editor Morwenna Ferrier and Dr Sarah Grant from the V&A join Krupa to discuss the history and sudden popularity of bows.

According to the World Health Organization, loneliness is now recognised as a pressing global health threat. Research shows that chronic loneliness carries the same health risk as smoking 15 cigarettes a day and can reduce life expectancy by up to 30 percent. As host Gabby reflects, the festive season can be one of the hardest times of the year for many. While Christmas is sold to us as joyful, warm, and deeply connected, for some it magnifies feelings of isolation instead. A UK survey found that 17% of people feel lonelier during the holidays, even when surrounded by loved ones. The gap between the expectation of celebration and the reality of personal circumstances can intensify sadness, anxiety, and disconnection, making December a particularly heavy month for those already struggling. In this episode — a conversation recorded 18 months ago but more relevant than ever — Gabby speaks with Dr Richard Pile, a GP specialising in lifestyle medicine and cardiology, as well as an author, TEDx speaker, podcaster, mentor, and coach. Together, they explore what loneliness really is, how it manifests not only emotionally but physically, and the subtle ways it can shape our behaviour and daily routines. Dr Richard shares the signs to look out for in ourselves and others, and why nurturing the relationships we already have is so vital. He also offers practical steps for forming new connections, finding like-minded people in our communities, and accessing NHS social prescribers — a free service designed to link people with activities and groups that support wellbeing. As the festive season approaches, Gabby invites listeners to take one small, meaningful action: reach out to someone who might be struggling. A simple message, phone call, or invitation for coffee can make a profound difference. This episode is a reminder that choosing connection over isolation not only eases another person's burden, but strengthens our own sense of belonging.

But its billionaire CEO, Alex Karp, is not like the other CEOs. In The Philosopher in the Valley, Michael Steinberger, who had unprecedented access to Karp during the writing of this biography, offers a detailed account of Karp's singular approach to leadership and how he is preparing Palantir, and the world, for a future dominated by technological power.  Michael Steinberger is a longtime journalist who writes primarily for The New York Times Magazine. He has written cover stories for the magazine about Joe Biden, George Soros, and Roger Federer. Before becoming a journalist, Steinberger spent several years working on Wall Street. He is the author of Au Revoir to All That: Food, Wine, and the End of France and The Wine Savant: A Guide to the New Wine Culture.  If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

A new Sky documentary, Birth Trauma: The women who weren't listened to, tells the stories of three women who were failed by the NHS. But why is maternity care so bad in the UK? And what can be done to improve the experiences of women and babies? Niall is joined by Leah Hazard, a practising NHS midwife and bestselling author of Hard Pushed: A Midwife's Story, to understand what leads to negative birth experiences and what changes she hopes a national inquiry will recommend.

Rob Moore sits down with the UK's longest-serving Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, for an unfiltered discussion on the state of the economy post-budget. He breaks down the £70 billion tax grab, revealing the urgent need for £47 billion in welfare reform, why running the NHS is "far harder" than running a major company, and the shocking structural problems hindering economic growth. BEST MOMENTS "If we got the benefits bill down to where it was before the pandemic, that's £47 billion less a year." "Running a hospital in Britain is far harder than running a FTSE company... I've seen it from the inside; there is a structural problem." "The more this Parliament goes on, the more the country is worried about the economy, and then they start thinking, 'Who do I actually trust when it comes to the economy?'"
