Most doctors speak to the public in individual consultations every day. But communicating about medicine to a wider audience is a different skill set altogether. In this series, Martin McKee, a professor of public health and the 2022-23 president of the BMA, talks to doctors and others related to medicine who have successfully taken their medical knowledge to the public in creative ways.

In this introduction to the podcast, Martin talks about the importance of communicating medicine well, and the inspiring figures that led him to make it.
