Adventure medic Lucy Obolensky shares her experiences in working with the media, and explores situations where media pressures may influence the doctor-patient relationship; alongside some of the ethical dilemmas which arise when providing healthcare in remote and austere environments.

Lucy is a GP who specialises in Expedition Medicine and Global Health. She is the programme lead for the Global and Remote Healthcare Masters at Plymouth University. Lucy has worked on Planet Earth, Blue Planet 2 and Our Planet with Sir David Attenborough. She co-founded the charity Future Health Africa which engages healthcare volunteers to deliver health and social care programmes in East Africa.
