We Work Together, our podcast about people who work together to improve health and care in West Yorkshire, is back for a second series. 

In this first episode of the new series, colleagues from the Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub, together with people working in the care sector, have recorded a special episode of the We Work Together podcast to discuss issues facing the care home sector during the pandemic. Consultant Clinical Psychologist Nigel Wainwright talked to care home Registered Manager Mark Fry-Jones and Juliet Green from Skills for Care and learned more about their own feelings and how they have approached managing the challenges they have faced since March 2020.
