BONUS Episode - Women miss out on life saving medicine

In this bonus episode we get to hear more from Dr Tim Nutbeam, the researcher behind the finding that women are nearly twice as likely as men to get trapped in a car following a crash. Tim talks Caroline through the even more shocking sex disparity he uncovered subsequently – and explains how we nearly didn’t get to see any of this research at all.
