When meningitis cases began clustering in Kent in March 2026, Dr. Tom Nutt of Meningitis Now found himself at the centre of a national media storm doing back-to-back broadcast interviews with almost no preparation time. In this episode, Tom talks candidly about how to balance scientific credibility with human empathy, how to stay calm and on-message when the questions are unpredictable, and why knowing your boundaries is as important as knowing your brief. Whether you’re a communications professional, charity spokesperson, or simply curious about what good crisis comms looks like in practice, this episode is packed with insight.
