Nicola Richards | Hope in the Deep End Podcast

Welcome to our podcast 'Hope in the Deep End', brought to you by the Shared Health Foundation. In this podcast series we are exploring all the different complexities of working in areas of deprivation, poverty and entrenched health inequalities. From clinicians to youth workers, we want to inspire, challenge and give inspiration to all those that work in the deep end. This episode was recorded as part of our Politics Series, where we speak to colleagues from all sides of the House, campaigners and activists about what keeps them hopeful in their work.
