  • Real humanity of the lockdown

    Mark Thomas is brilliant. A very intelligent and funny person. This series of podcasts is from the heart and to the heart of the lockdown experience in the front line of care. Don’t just clap, listen to what the front line staff felt like. Hear them tell you their experiences in a series of conversations with Mark. Excellent work Mr Thomas as always
