Episode 1: Doctor of the Isles

BBC Radio 4 - GPs Who Need GPS, Doctor of the Isles

Tracking the Small Isles GP Rachel Weldon as she does her rounds in her inflatable boat.

Joining Dr Rachel Weldon on her high speed sea commute to the furthest reaches of the Small Isles as she tends to her rural patients.

GP Rachel Weldon's Medical Practice stretches beyond the shores of the remote Isle of Eigg to cover the other Small Isles of Muck, Rum and Canna. 

The very much suburban GP Phil Hammond narrates the journeys taken by Rachel, her husband and boatman Eric and collie dog Laurie, as they carry out their monthly round to Canna.

Produced by Lucy Lloyd.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
