Certain medications remain in short supply or out of stock across the UK, which pharmacists have described as a “life threatening” situation, but why is it happening? Community pharmacist and chair of the National Pharmacy Association, Nick Kaye, explains the reasons behind it while Ellie Adams, who lives with epilepsy, talks about the constant anxiety of not knowing if her medication will be available. Ali Kohansal relies on his two parrots - Woodie and Georgie – for emotional support. But Woodie has gone missing which is having a huge impact on his mental health and tinnitus. And adventurer Darren Edwards has kayaked the length of the UK and run seven marathons in seven continents all after becoming paralysed from the chest down in a climbing accident. His next adventure will take him 333km across the Antarctic in just 20 days. But how do you ward against frostbite if you can’t feel your feet? Emma Tracey gets the answer. This episode was made by Beth Rose with Emma Tracey, Niamh Hughes and Alex Collins. It was recorded and mixed by Dave O’Neill. Senior editor was Sam Bonham.
