Previous Episode: (4/6) Public Health, the heart of the pandemic response

Next Episode: (6/6) Can you envisage a time where nobody will need to be contact traced or tested for COVID-19?

In this week’s episode of GovLife, we talk to Dr Adrian Noon, Jersey’s Medical Director for Primary Care, to understand his role in the pandemic response. From setting up Jersey’s urgent treatment centre in only 10 days, to being a founding member of STAC, to the challenges and differences of the first and second wave of the virus. And we couldn’t interview Dr Noon without asking him about his time as Take That’s tour doctor and working on-set with the Gladiators in the 1990s!
