S4 Ep17: Care in the Cells – Improving medical care for those in short term police custody featuring Dr. Michelle Brousson

When those in short term police custody need acute medical care, getting them that care presents logistic problems often resulting in time consuming and labor-intensive visits to the local hospital emergency department with police escorts. This week’s guest is Dr. Michelle Brousson, a family physician in North Vancouver, who talks to us about her innovative solution for this complex problem providing the care these patients need without having to leave the police station, providing a win-win solution for everyone involved. During this episode Dr. Brousson provides us with a project masterclass on engaging and listening to stakeholders and delivering education in a meaningful way.
