Dr Catherine Ross has an important message for our times—about seeing past the stigma attached to certain groups of people in our societies.
What happens when a GP decides that the people most often excluded from healthcare deserve a service designed around their needs?
In this episode, Jenny Ross speaks with Dr Ross, founder of Maple Access Practice in Northampton—a pioneering surgery created for people experiencing homelessness, people who use drugs, asylum seekers, street workers, and members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.
Catherine reflects on building a practice from the ground up, the importance of understanding trauma rather than judging behaviour, and what she learned from working alongside patients whose lives were shaped by exclusion, poverty and stigma.
Above all, this is a conversation about compassion, dignity and seeing the person behind the label.
