In this episode of BLMK Health Conversation On… we are looking at some of the big considerations as we enter the winter months.

We discuss all the good work we are doing to prepare for winter given the pressure the NHS is under, and what advice we can give to people.

  • Dr Tayo Kufeji – a local GP at Newport Pagnell Medical Centre, Clinical Director, The Bridge PCN MK and Director of Clinical Transformation (MK).
