Send us a textIn this episode, we learn about the inner workings of two critical elements of the community-based ecosystem in Trieste:  the community mental health center (CMHC) and the psychiatric unit in the city's general hospital (known as the Psychiatric Diagnostic and Treatment Services or SPDC).  Tommaso Bonavigo, is a psychiatrist at the CMHC Maddalena.  He received his education at the Università degli studi di Trieste, graduating first as a doctor (2010) and then as a psychiatrist (2016).Alessandra Oretti is the interim director of the mental health department for the city of Trieste and also serves as the head of the central hospital's psychiatric unit.  She has worked in the Trieste mental health system dating back to 1994 and received her degree from the Università degli studi di Trieste in 1998. The Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliano Isontina (ASUGI) is the Health Authority which services the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.  Oretti and Bonavigo  are part of the team of ASUGI experts in the following cooperation projects:RING project (INTEGRATED STRENGTHENING OF THE PALESTINIAN HEALTH SYSTEM) led by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) in the West Bank area (mainly in the psychiatric hospital of Bethlehem)DUSM project (Diritti umani e salute mentale dei detenuti ) in Albania, which means Human rights and mental health of the prisoners in Albania,  led by a consortium of Italian and Albanian NGOsCollaboration with East London Foundation Trust for developing a pilot CMHC which will remain open 24 hours In this interview, you will pick up on these themes:The importance of the therapeutic relationship which is based upon trust built up over time. How services are integrated in Trieste and the ways in which all the various people impacting a service user – the social worker, nurse, psychiatrist, police (if warranted) and others – create a team around a person.How accountability is assured through the designation of catchment areas – which denotes a territory for which the staff in a CMHC feel responsible for the people they serve. Resources: How a small Italian city became a model for mental health care.

Join us as we look back at the pick of the pod in 2023.  It's been a turbulent year: the NHS under pressure, the health of the population not improving as fast as we'd like and economic inactivity remaining stubbornly high, especially among working-age people.  But it's not all gloom. To some surprise, we saw government ditch its nanny state objections and take bold action on tobacco. And there have been breath-taking advances in technology, not least in artificial intelligence. A reminder that innovation and politics can open up new possibilities and hope for the future.  Join our Chief Executive Dr Jennifer Dixon as we reflect with guests who appeared on the podcast in 2023.

A record 7.7 million people are now waiting for elective care in England. With so many waiting for NHS care, polls show deep public concern over access to health services and many considering going private. Meantime policymakers are exploring how the independent sector can help get waiting lists down, and private equity investors are making moves in the independent health care provider market. So does this mean we're slowly sliding towards a mixed model of health care in this country? And if so, is it a good thing or should we be worried? To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by: Sarah Neville, Global Health Editor at the Financial Times. Hettie O'Brien, Assistant Editor at the Guardian and currently researching a book investigating the role of private equity in the contemporary economy and public services.

Over the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, works of botany underwent a radical change in the English book trade. A genre that was once produced in smaller cheaper formats became lavishly produced, authoritative editions. But as Early Modern Herbals and the Book Trade (Cambridge UP, 2022) shows, the relationships between making, producing, and consuming of botanical and medical knowledge was much more fluid. Today I am discussing this new book with the author Sarah Neville. Sarah Neville is Associate Professor of English and Creative Director of Lord Denney's Players at Ohio State University. Sarah serves as an assistant editor of the New Oxford Shakespeare and an associate coordinating editor of the Digital Renaissance Editions, as well as the writer/producer/director of the documentary Looking for Hamlet, 1603, available on Youtube.

Throughout Shakespeare's lifetime there were dozens of books printed on plants called herballs. These books contained drawings of various grasses, flowers, herbs, and trees that grew in England. The drawings we have surviving today total more than 1,000 woodcuts from Shakespeare's lifetime literally illustrating for us that the plant industry in England was big business for the same publishing houses producing Shakespeare's plays. Our guest this week, Sarah Neville, joins us to explore this part of the publishing industry and explain where herballs came from, who wrote them, and most of all, what kind of person wanted to buy them during Shakespeare's lifetime. 

We examine the abrupt departure of Met Police commissioner Cressida Dick, what it means for the police investigation into the “partygate” scandal and how it plays into Boris Johnson's hopes of resetting his government.

Political editor George Parker and chief political commentator Robert Shrimsley discuss.Plus, the government signals an end to all Covid restrictions in England by the end of February.
