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.
