The Rhubarb Triangle, GP rescue and Tanni Grey-Thompson

The Placemat

In the latest episode of the NHS's most influential and serious podcast, hosts Mike, Julian and The Other Guy take the burning issues of the day and attempt to run with them, like three inept athletes at the start of a very bad olympic games.
What has forced rhubarb got to do with integrated care in west Yorkshire? Should patient directors be allowed to run airlines and railways? Why has John got an erection in the garden and should we have one in London to honour nurses?
Find out the answers to all these questions and - if you can bear it - listen to our moving appeal for adoptive homes for GPs who used to work in clinical commissioning groups. Who will pat them, untangle their cardigans and toilet train them now?
On a lighter note, our special guest is Baroness Tanni Grey-Thomspon the multiple gold medal winning paralympian wheelchair racer and cross-bench peer. She tells us why she has a particular reason to be grateful to the NHS and what she has tattooed on her foot.
Plus, we reveal the amazing reason why Pete Turton is still better known as a doctor than a comedian, another heartwarming Virtue Signal of the Week and a premature musical farewell to everyone's favourite five year forward viewer from everyone's favourite South African rapper, Hurricane Caesar.
