"I know with speaking to other women in the industry, there have been challenges along the way. Luckily growing up on the farm with my grandparents’, they never taught me anything differently than they did my brother." Hear more of Jennifer Cook's story in this week's episode of WIN.

"It is no secret that my past has not been a fairytale. It’s been filled with tragedy, sorrow, heartache, and grief. However, it is not my past that defines me. It is the present and the hope for a brighter future. The drive to move forward and create a life that my daughter can be proud of burns deep within me. I want her to know that her mama was resilient and overcame obstacles that some couldn’t survive." Hear more of Rana Dowdy's story in this week's episode of WIN.

Jeremy Dautenhahn, the housing program supervisor with the Charles County Housing Authority through the Department of Community Services, joins us to talk about the Housing Choice Voucher Lottery Program.  

This is the first time in Charles County the Housing Choice Voucher Program is using a lottery format.  The list had been closed down in 2012 after remaining open for decades.   We talk about the program, how the lottery works, and the success that the program has had over the years.

With Steve Reed (Head of Community Services, York Teaching Hospitals NHS FT) and Dr John Ribchester (PCN Clinical Director, GP and Chair of Encompass GP Partnership, Whitstable, Kent) as our guides, we revisit the changing face of care delivery, this time from the viewpoint of primary care and the community. Steve and John give us their perspectives on out of hospital care and how it has been transformed during the pandemic.

In this COVID-19 series, Tom Clarke (Director -  NHS Insights & Interaction, Mtech Access) asks experts holding operational, strategic and clinical roles across the NHS to share their experiences and insights into how the NHS has responded to COVID-19 and the wider challenges facing the health service.

Tom begins by asking John to describe how primary care has changed since COVID-19 hit our shores in the UK, and the context of the pace of change for general practice. Tom then asks Steve to explain how he had been developing community services before COVID and the impact the pandemic has had on this agenda. Steve discusses how community services could change going forward and what role his teams could play for patients in the future. Tom then asks John about whether this could be a tipping point for primary care in terms of its scope and purpose, and what the most profound lasting changes could be.

This episode was originally broadcast on 29th May 2020 as a webinar. This podcast series has been converted from our webinar series 'How is COVID-19 impacting the NHS?'.

Smart cities have long been touted as the solution to managing the explosive growth in cities, making services and infrastructure more accessible and convenient to all. But for smart cities to work, vast amounts of data are prerequisites. That automatically brings into question citizen personal data and where a city, or enterprise such as Apple, draws the line between data privacy rights and the collective wellbeing of the city. In this episode, Ashwin Krishnan breaks down for us the current draw of smart cities, provides examples of what it is like to live within smart city boundaries, and what implications all of the “smarts” have on our personal data rights and freedoms.
