The Placemat

Seagulls, Gangsta Rap and Dr Mark Porter

Michael, Julian and John Season 1 Episode 5

This week's episode of the NHS's favourite podcast finds Sir Simon Stevens rooting through your bins. No the head of NHS England hasn't fallen on hard times, but he is keen to keep you out of hospital by checking you are doing everything you can to stay healthy.

Talking of rubbish, we also take the lid off integrated care systems: what are they and more importantly why are they? To help us explore this important topic we're joined once again by Andy Cowper.

And if that weren't enough, we talk to the charming and handsome Dr Mark Porter about the NHS, his work on TV and radio and why he has signed off Twitter for the last time.

Plus all your regular favourites including Virtue Signal of the Week and everyone's second favourite media doctor, Pete Turton.

This weeks show also features a musical treat designed to increase our appeal to younger audiences.

WARNING: May contain some bad accents, terrible acting and puerile humour.
