We are delighted to announce the release of the newest edition of our magazine, The Geographer! The theme of this edition is Health Services, investigating the health and heart of our health services in the UK and around the world. In this edition we explore how health services are fairing after Covid, comparative perspectives on healthcare, and care amidst the climate crises.
The NHS has been facing ongoing pressures, including stress on staff and resources, and knock-on consequences to the availability of wider-health services. This edition of The Geographer has been created as a small way to offer our thanks to the NHS for all it has done over the past two years, and all it continues to do.
