Hate to be that person but I can’t overstate how traumatic and isolating it was to be on the postnatal ward with a newborn with no visitors after a traumatic birth. Some hospital trusts still have a no visitor policy. But 60,000 are allowed at Wembley.

I'm launching a podcast! Chronic is an unashamedly, anti-wellness podcast – no talk of cures, or health hacks. Instead, we'll be talking about how to live well *alongside* chronic illness – something that is so often missing from our narrative around health and wellness.
