Wemos tips & picksWe’re delighted to be starting a new section in the newsletter to share our exciting tips and picks on articles, books, films, podcasts and more about global public health!
Our first tip is the book 'This is going to hurt' by Adam Kay (2017, Picador). It is a compilation of
Kay's journal entries during his medical training from 2004 to 2010. He highlights political issues in the UK's National Health Service and societal disputes between the general public and undervalued doctors by adding a lot of humour to his personal stories. The book was also adapted into a BBC One series. A must-read ➔
