  • Special job, special people | Episode 7
    2025/07/23

    Working in healthcare in remote and rural areas is often sold to doctors as a chance to live and practise in beautiful surroundings with plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities. But it’s about much more than that.


    This episode of The Doctor podcast, brought to you by the British Medical Association, builds on the feature Special job, special people – now they need specialty status by Jennifer Trueland.

    Dr Pauline Wilson, a consultant physician in Shetland, and Dr Neil Shepherd, a GP in Orkney and a rural emergency physician in Caithness General Hospital in Wick discuss the challenges and the joys of working in remote and rural areas – and the qualities that make a good rural doctor.


    They also talk about a new credential that perhaps is a baby step on the way to rural and remote medicine becoming a specialty in its own right.

  • Breaking barriers to care | Episode 6
    2025/06/17

    A medical environment can be overwhelming for any patient, but to those who are neurodivergent, the sensory challenges involved can be enough to put them off obtaining the healthcare they need.


    In recognition of the barriers to care faced by these patients, some doctors are attempting to change the way medical treatment in their workplaces are delivered in an effort to become more inclusive and effective.


    Welcome to the sixth episode of The Doctor podcast, brought to you by the British Medical Association.


    In this episode, Dr. Giles Armstrong and Dr. Sarah Davies discuss their efforts to make the NHS more accessible for autistic patients.


    They share personal experiences, insights, and practical steps they have taken to improve healthcare, including enrolling their workplaces in a specialised award scheme provided by the National Autistic Society.


    This episode builds on the feature article ‘Sensory overload – making the NHS more accessible for autistic patients', by Tim Tonkin.

  • Doctors living with Parkinson's | Episode 5
    2025/04/24

    When emergency medicine consultant Jonny Acheson was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nine years ago, it came as a huge shock.


    As for many NHS professionals living with the condition, a stressful job meant that he hadn’t recognised in himself symptoms he’d seen in patients with Parkinson’s.

    In this episode Dr Acheson is joined by retired old-age psychiatrist Richard Prettyman to discuss what it’s like to live and work with the condition.


    They talk openly about their frustrations and feelings, about some common misconceptions around Parkinson’s – and about their determination to live well. They want to help others do the same, including through a support group for health workers living with the disease.


    Find out more about the Parkinson’s support group for health professionals by emailing nhsppdg@gmail.com or via @jonny_acheson on X.


    The Parkinson’s UK Excellence Network helps health and social care professionals provide better support for people with Parkinson's.
