The next 6-12 months in the NHS will be critical. There are a huge backlog of cases that haven’t been brought to the attention of GP’s. Why don’t they talk about improving health through nutrition and activity As human beings, we need to take back responsibility for our own health and wellbeing outside of big institutions There should be many options for people to access healthcare but the key is changing perspectives and helping people to increase health through nutrition and activity The infection rates in this country a reflection of our collective health as a population. It has shown there is a lot more we can be doing to look after ourselves and could kickstart a better way forward. Normal before was not a good place to be. There needs to be a rethink about how we run the world.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The people who decided on the type of PPE to be worn are those that would run with speed in the opposite direction if near a patient with covid19’ ‘We can’t out-medicate chronic conditions’ ‘As humans, we all need our connections with others and we need to continue to build and maintain these’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Enduring Health Podcast Surgical Spirit Podcast A Doctor's View Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST Dr. Shan Hussain is an author, general practitioner, health coach, wellness advisor and ambassador to the World Health Innovation Summit.
