  • Summary

  • The first module of the UK's COVID-19 enquiry was published in July 2024. The enquiry found that the UK prepared for the wrong sort of pandemic, suffered from groupthink, and ultimately failed its citizens, more than 200,000 of whom died as a result of the pandemic.

    Editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Richard Horton, joins Gavin and Jessamy to discuss his experiences giving evidence to the enquiry. We reflect on the findings, dissect their meaning for pandemic preparedness, and talk about what the UK government needs to do next.
