In this week’s episode of the #CodaPodcast, Dr Daniel Nour – who founded Street Side Medics a not-for-profit, GP-led mobile medical service for people experiencing homelessness - in August 2020 talks about his grave concern for the homeless who have gone untreated for years. He talks about how it was seeing the inequality in healthcare among the homeless that made him want to do something about it and how we often think about their need for shelter and food, but not for suitable healthcare. He also discusses the barriers that face homeless people and what it was that led him to launch Street Side Medics.
