About this listen

Matt Hancock served as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care from 2018 to 2021, leading the UK government's response to the coronavirus pandemic, the biggest health crisis the country, and the world, has faced for generations.

This unique book, based on the author's contemporaneous records of those extraordinary months, candidly recounts firsthand the most important events and decisions as they unfolded throughout this unprecedented global emergency.

Pandemic Diaries provides the definitive account of Britain's battle to turn the tide against COVID-19.

For the first time, Hancock reveals the crucial moments of the struggle to save lives and the race to develop the vaccine. The MP for West Suffolk gives his unique perspective on how the NHS rose to the challenge, recognizing the incredible hard work and sacrifice of so many, and offers an honest assessment of the lessons we need to learn for next time—because there will be a next time.

Great work by Matt Hancock and Isabel Oakeshott. Their powerful bond is surely only beaten by his loving marriage to his wife Martha.

If you don’t like Matt Hancock and you don’t like the Conservative Party not sure why you would torture yourself to listen to this. The diary style of the book is very good you picture yourself remembering where you were and what you were doing on that day. Great listen. Make your own mind up.

Fascinating listen.
