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

Since 2020, Dr David Cartland https://www.drdavidcartland.com/ has been an inspiration to many. From his courageous whistleblowing about the serious side effects of the covid jabs, to calling out corruption and challenging official medical narratives, he is the epitome of what it means to be a compassionate and ethical doctor.A highly experienced GP with a First-Class Honours degree in Biomedical Science and an MSc in Medical Research, David risked — and ultimately lost — his career to uphold the Hippocratic Oath of ‘Do No Harm'.He put patients' interests and safety above his own, refused to stay silent during Covid despite a ruthless and relentless witch hunt, and was struck off the UK medical register earlier this year.In this fascinating and wide-ranging conversation, the pair discuss the appalling persecution that Dr Cartland suffered for speaking out, his subsequent General Medical Council (GMC) hearing and striking off, his views on healthcare, medicine, and where the current trajectory is leading, plus his deep concerns about the destruction of ethical medicine.Despite what Dr Cartland has been through, he remains steadfast and continues to help people and speak truth to power. He now has a health coaching business and a podcast called ‘Breaking the Silence', where he provides a platform for whistle-blowers and the vaccine injured.He's also written two books: Do No Harm: Diaries of a Vaccinated Antivaxxer https://www.amazon.co.uk/DO-NO-HARM-V..., and the poetry anthology A Doctor's Despair https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctors-Desp....He wrote an article for UK Column in the past called ‘NHS in Crisis: Covid–19 Vaccines, A Duty of Care, And Why Doctors are Leaving the NHS' https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/nhs-in.... UK Column also interviewed him previously: ‘David Cartland — The Honest Doctor Who Refuses To Be Silenced' https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/david-....He can be found on his website, on YouTube, and on X.https://www.drdavidcartland.com/https://x.com/TheHonestDr/ @davidcartlandUKMFA:CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our new Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

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.

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?

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

Human rights promotion and protection continue to remain highly relevant in psychiatric practice, so it is imperative that psychiatrists are aware of developments being made in international law. Chair of the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Special Committee on Human Rights, Professor Piyal Sen, presents this podcast to highlight the central role of human rights in psychiatric practice. He is joined by the co-authors of Mental Health and Human Rights (2024), Professor Norman Sartorius and Professor Neeraj Gill, as well as the first permanent Human Rights Officer at the NHS, Dr Tallyn Gray to discuss the role that psychiatrists can play in upholding and advocating for the rights of their patients.

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.

Olivares discusses digital transformation that makes care delivery smarter, faster, and more sustainable, as well as how data-driven platforms can support pharma in negotiating outcomes-based agreements with payers like the NHS. You can listen to episode 226 of the pharmaphorum podcast in the player below, download the episode to your computer, or find it - and subscribe to the rest of the series – on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podbean, and pretty much wherever else you download your other podcasts from.

The Welsh Government's budget was on a rocky road, with Labour staring down the possibility of defeat when their spending plans went to a vote in January. Behind closed doors, negotiations went on — and now, a deal has been done. Plaid Cymru has stepped in to help pass the budget, securing extra funding for the NHS and local councils in return. But how will it land with voters? James and Fliss unpack the details with Political Reporter David Deans and Wales Online's Ruth Mosalski, who were both at the Senedd when the news broke.

Who does our data belong to? In this episode, Carl Miller speaks to NYT magazine journalist and author Michael Steinberger about Alex Karp, Palantir and the rise of the surveillance state. Founded in 2003, Palantir is widely regarded as the most interesting company in Silicon Valley – as well as its most controversial. It aided the US government in the war on terrorism and is now used by the CIA, the NHS, the US military and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. 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.

“Too many women and babies are not getting the safe, compassionate care they deserve.” The starkest of warnings has been issued by the president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Professor Ranee Thakar, about the failures in maternity services across the country. 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. Producer: Tom Gillespie Editor: Mike Bovill

There is an enormous amount of research on treatment for ADHD - pharmaceutical and otherwise. But not all of those trials, or meta-analyses, are of high quality; and not many compare the whole literature.  Now a new umbrella review - a review of reviews - tries to give a broad overview of the whole evidence base. Corentin Gosling, associate professor at the Université Paris Nanterre, joins us to set out the benefits and harms of ADHD therapies.   Also, the BMJ's been investigating the employment of doctors on “local” contracts in the NHS - and our latest look at this exposes what some have described as a “gig economy”, with doctors plugging rota gaps but missing out on training, development, and salary progression. Rebecca Coombes, head of journalism at The BMJ explains more.   Finally, Tom Frieden is former head of the US Centers for Disease Control, and current CEO of Resolve to Save Lives - he's written a new book on public health. He joins us to talk about what actually improves health at a population level, and why the current US administration's approach to staffing the CDC is leaving the country open to danger.   Reading list Benefits and harms of ADHD interventions: umbrella review and platform for shared decision making Revealed: Thousands of NHS doctors are trapped in insecure “gig economy” contracts
