Register to join Episode 17 'Crisis Management' on Zoom here.

Joining Professor Sir Simon Wessely on our COVID-19 Series this week is prominent economist and former Head of the Civil Service and Cabinet Secretary, Lord Gus O’Donnell.

Gus O'Donnell has worked closely with Prime Ministers during numerous crises, from Black Wednesday in 1992 through to the global financial crisis in 2007-2008 to name just a few. He will discuss the challenges posed by different kinds of crises for governments, decision-makers and their advisers. 

The pair will look at the response to COVID-19 in the UK from the perspective of the civil service, discussing the way the government works during a crisis, how the key decisions are made, and how the country might emerge from the pandemic.
