Our coverage has attracted a huge audience from those within the NHS, to those in the general public eager to better understand the pandemic - with stories going international, receiving coverage in media as geographically diverse as El Pais and the LA Times.

Our new podcast, HSJ Health Check, gathers a cast of expert journalists to explain and debate the most pressing issues in NHS policy and leadership. Subscribers to this podcast have quadrupled during 2020.

As well as the insight from HSJ.co.uk, HSJ Events deliver a year-round portfolio of summits, awards, congress, forums, and virtual events to senior healthcare leaders from within the public and private sectors.

"Since the start of the pandemic the interest in the NHS and coverage within all news channels has increased exponentially. This has led to a lot more interest internally and externally and also a large increase in the amount of fake news. When responding to sthe accuracy of any story the first port of call for our communications team, and the first place they will send any internal query is to the HSJ. We use the HSJ as a factual soundboard. If the HSJ is saying it, it must be true"
