About The Most Northerly Doctor In Britain
From the publisher's feed
This podcast shares the thoughts and events through diaries recorded by a GP from the South of England, Dr Ann Marshall, who took a sabbatical on the northerly most Isle of Unst, Shetland. She was…
the sole doctor and GP providing routine and emergency care on the island for a period, last Autumn (2023). We listen to her audio diary together and then chat off the back of those diary entries It is a story of discovery in so many ways and ultimately uplifting. It demonstrates life as a rural GP in Scotland in an extreme sense. As well as following her getting to grips with, updating and revisiting old skills and a very fresh challenge, late career. On top of that, this podcast offers a beautiful illustration of an outsiders eyes when it comes to the Island, its people, nature and landscape.
