About the event
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed fundamental cracks in healthcare systems, highlighting the need to critically rethink how we understand caregiving and the delivery of healthcare. How can we leverage social relationships to not only improve quality of care, but also to enhance the wellbeing of healthcare professionals, assist everyday caregiving, and promote inclusion? Kim Samuel, a renowned social advocate and the author of On Belonging, will discuss these ideas with Senior Research Fellow and Professor of Medical Sociology at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Professor Catherine Pope.
