Meet the women trying to transform the city's healthcare
We interview two women leading the transformation of healthcare in Norwich.
Hello and welcome back,
I was going to write about all the problems facing our health service this week, but then I had other ideas.
It is hard to see through the headlines of thousands of patients on trolleys, people dying while waiting for ambulances and the endless pressures on hospitals. I noticed this Tweet from the Sunday Times health correspondent at the start of January:
36 ambulances were stacked outside @NNUH last night with crews forced to swap oxygen cylinders with each other as they ran out because some patients were stuck many hours in the back of ambulances: pic.twitter.com/WQkizKZs5m

But I think it is important to keep some hope because otherwise there is no way forward. When I started The Seeker, I said it would focus on solutions rather than just problems, so that is what this week’s edition is about.
I’m bringing you an interview (and some hope🤞) with two leading women in the city’s health scene who are trying to prevent people needing to go to hospital in the first place. As I said in the last newsletter, there is no quick fix to the health system's problems, but this interview hopefully gives a glimpse into how a key piece of the jigsaw can be solved. 👇
