The Covid-19 pandemic brought many changes to the NHS. How well have these changes worked in contraception and sexual health?
And tackling waiting lists for joint replacements.

What has the pandemic done to our sex lives? We鈥檒l hear if there鈥檚 been a baby boom with Dr Margaret McCartney and Dr Rebecca Thomson-Glover has the lowdown on sexually transmitted infections. We鈥檒l also explore changes to contraception and sexual health services. Meanwhile it feels like we鈥檙e on the march to normality, but what about the backlog of patients whose treatment has been cancelled. We speak to Charmayne whose surgery has been held up by the pandemic and Nick Arresti from the British Orthopaedic Association to see how such waiting lists can be tackled.
