Frances chats to: infection control expert Rose Gallagher who is supporting the COVID-19 response today; historian Mark Honigsbaum on the role nurses played in the 1918 'spanish flu' pandemic; Jason Warriner, a nurse who remembers all too well the emergence of HIV and AIDS in the 1980s; and artist Mary Beth Heffernan, who created an innovative approach to humanising hazmats suits during the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
