Send us a textBolsover GP Dr Selina Flinders joins Tara this week to talk about Sir Michael Marmot's brilliant The Health Gap. We talk about health inequalities, the effect of the pandemic and how much more relevant this book sadly is in our post-Covid world. We go on to talk about poverty, intergenerational medicine, the role of the GP as a listener and how the Beveridge report remains just as relevant 80 years later.This is such an important book, it's also readable, accessible and thought provoking without being hard work or boring. It's relevant to anyone working in healthcare and to be honest we think it's relevant to anyone who is interested in anything.We also talked about Julian Tudor-Hart's Inverse Care Law If you want a reminder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5zvzKcFHj8Selina also recommended Kristin Hannah's novel The Four Winds and how the themes in that fit with everything Marmot has to say. We also mentioned Cecil Helman's classic book The Suburban Shaman
