We welcome the final guest for series 2 - Dr Mark Holland. Mark is Associate Professor at the University of Bolton and formerly a Consultant in geriatric medicine at Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester, before moving into Acute Medicine. He was formerly President of the Society for Acute Medicine where he did so many TV interviews on behalf of his profession he ended up with his own IMDB database!

We chat to Mark about teaching during a pandemic as well as his reflections of his time working in acute medicine. We talk about the difficulties patients face managing medicines at home and once again the high cost of veterinary medicines. Our micro discussion focuses on educational stories from our careers and we discuss the highlights of the series.

Jamie references the TED talk Do you remember? Doctors make mistakes, can we talk

As with all our guests we ask Mark to pick his ‘Desert Island Drug’, a career defining anthem and a book that has influenced his work
