Welcome to our podcast 'Hope in the Deep End', brought to you by the Shared Health Foundation.

In this podcast series we are exploring all the different complexities of working in areas of deprivation, poverty and entrenched health inequalities. From clinicians to youth workers, we want to inspire, challenge and give inspiration to all those that work in the deep end.

This episode was recorded as part of Shared Health’s annual Doctors in Deprivation Training Day - a day of learning, inspiration and encouragement for GPs and clinical leads working in the Deep End of medicine. If you’re interested in attending our next training day, visit our website.

Richard Miller is a policy researcher and advocate. His areas of focus include poverty and mental health. In today’s episode, he shares research on paternal postnatal depression, what support is out there for new fathers and co-parents, and what is still missing.

His commentary piece on this topic, published by the Centre for Policy Research on Men and Boys, can be found at: https://www.menandboys.org.uk/nce/paternal-postnatal25
