S2 Ep15: Dr. Sarb Clare & Dr. Chris Duncan: Working on the NHS frontlines whilst writing a medical textbook

Dr. Chris Duncan (2009) and Dr. Sarb Clare have accomplished something extraordinary together: whilst both working on the NHS frontline of the COVID pandemic they have also written a medical textbook, published with Cambridge University Press, which could revolutionise patient care in the future.

The book is called Ultrasound for the Generalist which focuses on point of care ultrasound and the multitude of benefits that new portable ultrasound technology can provide in areas around the world: taking equipment to the patient rather than asking the patient to come in to hospital is just one of them, but one which could dramatically help people especially in areas with more barriers to access to healthcare.

The book was supposed to be published in 2020, but Sarb and Chris were needed on the frontline when the pandemic hit. They talk about their experiences of working within the NHS during this difficult time, and offer some insight in to how the NHS is faring in January 2022, nearly two years after the world first went in to lockdown.
