5.8 - Paul Woodgate - The Patient Voice and the lived reality of Polypharmacy
A fantastic chat this week we talk to Paul Woodgate who as well as having Type II Diabetes and Parkinson’s disease is an advocate for patients in the design of healthcare services. We hear how this important role has evolved from being the oft ignored voice at the back of the room to being a central part of service design.
Our new website is now live - www.theauralapothecary.com

Our micro-discussion continues our examination of the Sunday Times Article “The NHS is flatlining - here’s how to save it right now” by Health Editor Shaun Lintern. In it he proposes 10 ideas that he thinks might ‘save the NHS’ and so we ask our guests what they think. Paul and Gimmo ‘disagree agreeably’…
As with all of our guests, Paul shares with us a Memory Evoking Medicine, a life anthem and book that has influenced his life.
