With the NHS celebrating it's 75th anniversary, this episode is on healthcare and it's a My Favourite Standard special.
Matthew meets Julia Scott, Associate Director of Clinical Quality Assurance and Innovation at the Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust in Kent, in south-east England.
She tells him her story of why BS 2881 - specification for cupboards for the storage of medicines in health care premises - is her My Favourite Standard and why it means so much to her.
And also about how BS 2881 and other standards work alongside and with regulations and professional guidance to provide high quality medicine governance and management in the NHS.
There’s also talk about layers of Swiss cheese, blow torches and sledgehammers!
