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.

In this week's episode, our Policy and Comms Lead, Sam Pratt, and Policy and Campaigns Officer, Isabel Kaner, discuss recent political developments in England. Join us in a conversation about Andy Burnham becoming PM, what commitments we'd like to see from the new government, and what we're hopeful for as we head into party conferences season.
