About Dr Carey Lunan
Carey is a GP by background who has worked in areas of high socio-economic disadvantage throughout her career. She is immediate past-Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners in Scotland and the current Chair of the Scottish Deep End project, comprising clinical and academic GPs working in the 100 most deprived practices in Scotland.
She is also a Senior Medical Advisor to the Scottish Government on Health Inequalities and Mental Health. A passionate believer in the founding principles of the NHS, she champions the potential role of general practice teams in mitigating health inequalities, and believes that the NHS needs to be at its best where it is needed the most – or health inequalities will continue to worsen.
About the Primary Care Seminar Series
The Primary Care Seminar Series are run by a group of GP academics and medical students at St George's.
The Primary Care Seminars are an initiative designed to showcase primary care (especially academic primary care) to medical students and other clinical students. Students and staff across institutions are welcome to attend.
We have chosen topical subject areas which are of interest to students and linked to the theme of The Future of Primary Care. This event specifically will focus on the topic of health equity.
Each session will be an hour long, delivered online via MS Teams and hosted by one of the primary care education team. It will typically comprise one or two speakers and the opportunity for students to ask questions in a moderated Q&A.
Sessions will be recorded so that those unable to join live will be able to watch at a later date.
Please note: You only need to register once to be included in the whole seminar series, therefore if you have registered to attend a previous Future of Primary Care seminar, you do not need to register again.
