Welcome to the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast!

In this episode, Sustainability in Healthcare, our hosts Dr. Peter Bagshaw and Dr. Andrew Tresidder are joined by Christine Young from NHS Somerset to discuss what we mean by sustainability, why it is critical that health and care services actively work to become sustainable, and what the NHS in Somerset is doing to protect the environment.

The SEW podcast is a free weekly show hosted by Dr. Andrew Tresidder, Dr. Peter Bagshaw and Dr. Kate Staveley. In each episode, the doctors discuss a different topic related to mental and emotional wellbeing and often invite expert guests to join them in conversation. The show is aimed at the people of Somerset and beyond; the advice and guidance provided should apply to anybody who needs it, whenever they need it.

All episodes of SEW are now available to listen to free through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Google Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts, Somerset Emotional Wellbeing or wherever you get your podcasts!
