Show Notes Chapter Markers

What does the former England rugby captain Kyran Bracken know about the NHS? Refreshingly little as it turns out, but he does have some painfully funny experiences of urgent care to share. They'll have you in stitches.

In a packed episode we also find out why leading doctors are accusing Covid-19 of xenophobia and why new variants of Public Health England threaten to overwhelm the NHS.
Plus we apologise to Matt Hancock for failing to recognise that speed trumps perfection and try out his irreversible roadmap. 

Brought to you by the reliably silly presenting team of Dr Mike Smith, John Bennett and Julian Patterson, with expert help from Andy Cowper and proper doctor Pete Turton (he works in a hospital). 

Oh, and if you're wondering why it's called The Placemat, we finally find out this time.
