(1/2) My team at @EveryDoctorUK have run 19 MP briefings during the pandemic. These are private meetings- we bring info from the NHS frontline, explain issues + host experts

(2/2)..It is notoriously difficult for politicians to understand what is happening in the NHS. Comms are centralised, doctors find it difficult to speak up
