Carey Lunan is a GP in Craigmillar, Edinburgh and Chair of the DeepEnd Group, made up of the 100 GP practices in Scotland's most deprived areas. She has also been chair of the Royal College of GPs in Scotland, leading on reports to government and policy, and representing the profession in mainstream media. She has a long-standing interest in health inequality and is a familiary contributor to public discourse concerning health issues in Scotland.
In this conversation, Carey and Zack discuss a range of ideas, including what's different about medicine in deprived populations, the trade-off between access and continuity in healthcare, the opportunities for the NHS during pandemic recovery, lessons learned from Covid-19, the problem of burnout and much more.
