GPs Who Need GPS - Doc of the Antarctic

Logo for GPs Who Need GPS - Doc of the Antarctic

GP Phil Hammond compares his commute to that of Claire Lehman, who travelled to work via Madrid, Santiago and the Falkland Islands before flying into Rothera in the Antarctic. As she watches for killer whales, carries out postmistress duties, cooks for her colleagues and prepares for potential Antarctic casualities, the differences between this remote job and the life of a typical GP like Phil is brought sharply into focus.
