Dr Rangan Chatterjee LIVE at The Scottish Parliament with Annie Wells MSP
Listen on
This week, the microphones are turned and it’s me in the hot seat. This conversation was recorded at The Festival of Politics 2019 on World Mental Health Day in The Scottish Parliament with Deputy Convener of the Cross-Party Group on Mental Health, Annie Wells MSP. I was invited to speak about my mission to inspire people to make small sustainable changes to their lifestyles, which, as many of you know, I believe is the secret to having a healthier and happier life.
We discuss how my own experience as a carer shaped the way I practice medicine and I talk about my passionate belief that everybody should have access to good quality health information. We also delve into a wide variety of different topics, from breathing and sleep to this podcast and how it has grown so rapidly.
Finally, the floor is opened up to the attendees of the event, and I answer their questions – including being put on the spot at the very end as to what my top tips would be for reforming the NHS. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
