Episode 7
In this wide ranging conversation, Professor Martin Bloem pulls together different themes and disciplines to reflect on how we can respond to and examine underlying factors contributing to both acute crises and long term conditions. This viewpoint is grounded in his deep expertise as a medically trained nutritionist and public health practitioner. His central message is that we live in a complex world for which linear solutions are inadequate. The need to apply holistic, systems perspectives is essential, as is the imperative to work effectively together.
