After a little R&R we are back to chat all about the lost art of Convalescence.
We tend to talk a lot about treatment of illness and injuries, but as a society have we forgotten the importance of recovery? Convalescence used to be a common concept but we don’t hear a lot about it today. We are joined in this episode by Dr Gavin Francis, doctor and author. He talks about his book Recovery: the Lost Art of Convalescence, and why it is important to remember this aspect of management of illness and injury.
He tells us how recovery can still be relevant even for people with long term illnesses and what it might be like to value it more in society. He also shares his experiences on recovery from COVID.
We hope you enjoy this weeks conversation.
