Rethinking NHS Pressure: Medication Challenges & The Return of Nutritional Deficiencies

Andrew Wren

Welcome to this week’s episode from The Hub, where we explore fresh insights to support your health journey. Today, we’re tackling a pressing issue facing the UK’s National Health Service — rising pressures on hospital beds and waiting lists, and a growing awareness of the hidden impact of medication-related challenges.

We’ll also dive into the surprising comeback of so-called “Victorian diseases,” preventable nutritional deficiencies like scurvy that are re-emerging in modern times due to dietary and lifestyle factors.

Plus, we’ll discuss practical ways to rethink how we support national health and well-being, from focusing on early signs of micronutrient inadequacy to embracing seasonal, home-grown foods and holistic health approaches.

Join us as we unpack the facts, explore solutions, and call for a national rethink on how we nourish and care for ourselves and each other.

Let’s get started!
