A GP in prison: the challenge of treating incarcerated patients

Dr Shahed Yousaf is a GP who works in prison and with the homeless community in England. How is healthcare adapted to reach those without a fixed address? How does he navigate working with imprisoned patients who'd be better served in a mental health facility? What are some of the most surprising things he's seen in prison? And what personal toll has prison work taken on him?

You can buy a copy of Dr Yousaf's book, Stitched Up, here.
