    LetsFIXtheNHS Episode 003 - The Heart of Healthcare, Dr Zainab Hussain

    In this in-depth episode, we sit down with Dr. Zainab Hussain — a GP partner, educator, and one of the most authentic medical voices emerging online — to explore what it’s really like to work inside the NHS today. Zainab opens up about her early life growing up in Cardiff, inspired by hardworking parents, and takes us on her journey through medicine: from rotations in renal, spinal, mental health, and paediatrics, to building a career as a GP in Stoke-on-Trent. This 90-minute conversation is a deep, human-centred exploration of general practice — its values, its challenges, and its future. We discuss digital access, patient expectations, workforce pressures, policy shifts, and the power of authentic connection between doctor and patient. If you want to understand the heart of the NHS, this is where to start.
