Coming Soon - our next Profile in Urgent Care will feature Dr Claire Russell.
We learn about Claire's Journey to Urgent Care via Emergency Medicine and Rural General Practice, whilst also pursuing a love of sailing, travel and adventure. We learn how with the right team you can take on the world and how that team might not be what convention or the establishment expects.
Please check out the link here to the trailer for the Movie Documentary - Maiden. This film charts the remarkable journey that Claire was a part of in the 1989 Whitbread around the world race.
