Invited by journalist Jorge Correia I was on the podcast simple question.

For 15 months, Health was in the throes of the most serious crisis in recent years. 
The COVID-19 pandemic tested the National Health Service's capacity, resilience and agility to the limit. 
At the heart of this response were hospitals. 
Who had to reinvent themselves in real time! 
Patient circuits. Emergencies, hospitalizations and intensive care. 
The limits were almost elastic. But not infinite. 
And the pains were also felt.

With COVID in the control phase – with a low incidence and increasing immunity – thanks mainly to the gigantic ongoing vaccine campaign, the future remains.

With old and new problems: Namely:
How to recover non-COVID patients?
Make more appointments, treatments and surgeries.

How to better organize and finance hospitals?
How to place hospitals adapted to the needs of citizens.

In an aging country, with chronic diseases to add, but with more and better answers in technology and data intelligence.
This in the context of tight funding and the ongoing debate on sustainability. From the NHS, hospitals and all health partners

They were part of the topics I covered in this interesting conversation.
