Inspiring Doctors

Most doctors speak to the public in individual consultations every day. But communicating about medicine to a wider audience is a different skill set altogether. In this series, Martin McKee, a professor of public health and the 2022-23 president of the BMA, talks to doctors and others related to medicine who have successfully taken their medical knowledge to the public in creative ways. New episodes come out every Tuesday until 26 September. Our cast of amazing guests includes Rachel Clarke, Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed, Phil Hammond, Alice Roberts, Ben Goldacre, and more. Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts so you never miss an episode. The interviewees on this podcast are just a selection of those who communicate medicine in fantastic ways.

    Stephen McGann and Heidi Thomas

    In our final episode, Martin speaks to two special guests, from the team behind the BBC series ‘Call the Midwife’. Stephen McGann, who plays Dr Turner, and is not only an actor but also an experienced science communicator; and Heidi Thomas, an accomplished screenwriter and playwright who is the creator, writer, and executive producer of the series. They talk about the opportunities of the show to deliver health messages to its wide audience, the response doctors have had to fictional GP Dr Patrick Turner, Heidi’s childhood aspirations towards healthcare, Stephen’s science communication work, and much more.   Episode transcript available at bma.org.uk/inspiringdoctors   Content warning: this episode contains some discussion about the history of abortion rights and the thalidomide scandal. You can avoid those by skipping from 52:15 to 59:00 for thalidomide, and 59:00 to 1:07:41 for abortion. The episode also contains a few very mild spoilers for Call the Midwife.   You can watch Call the Midwife on the BBC iPlayer for listeners in the UK.
