Songbirds and Sirens - Sounds of Recovery from a Pandemic

What does recovery from the pandemic sound like? The world was brought to a standstill by the lockdown of 2020. Nature and Nurture were at odds and the only sounds were those of the Songbirds and the Sirens. The 'pause' has created a unique opportunity for society to positively reshapes its future. Ros Miller, an Orthopaedic Surgeon and Mid-career medic, chats with colleagues and friends from around the world, who are helping to shape the conversation that society is having with itself as the recovery progresses.
