Manage episode 298747477 series 2714588
Today we speak to Alia in an exhausted evening between her many media appearances, sitting between her bed and her desk in London on the edge of summer.
CW: limited mention in episode of suicide and domestic violence
* how Alia went from psychotherapist to activist appearing on our screens almost daily, fighting for the survival of the NHS during Covid for the campaign 'Keep Our NHS Public' and creating the first 'People's Covid Enquiry'
* what the NHS, the National Health Service is in the UK - why it is so unusual and why its existence is in danger.
* how the Covid crisis has played out in the UK, lack of PPE, corruption in government procurement, unclear lockdown rules and the pressure that is falling on our healthworkers as a result.
* how mental health services are seeing the results of Covid mismanagement firsthand.
* feeling hopeless about what you can do? Alia has ideas.
