**SPOILER ALERT** We tried hard to keep the twist a secret here but then Rahhiel got a bit carried away and mentioned a little part of it and then we kept talking and it was too hard to go back and decide to record this all over again. So if you've not read this incredible book and are adamant you'd want absolutely no spoilers at all, you might need to read it first.  If you've read it already or if you hate surprises anyway keep listening.

Christy Lefteri's bestselling novel The Beekeeper of Aleppo captivated me from the moment i picked it up.  I was transported to Syria, through Turkey, Greece to the south coast of England.  It is a beautiful story told in the voice of Nuri the beekeeper and narrates the journey he takes with his wife Afra to leave their beloved home to find a safer life.

The Trailblazer fellowship programme is well worth looking at https://heeoe.hee.nhs.uk/general_practice/fellowships-primary-care/trailblazer-deprivation-fellowships

The organisation Doctors of the World produce some amazing resources for working with refugees https://www.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/

The difficulties Afra and Nuri face when registering with a GP could have been avoided if only their practice knew about this guidance
