Intensive Care

In February 202, Gavin Francis was doing a job that had remained much the same for a century, working as a GP and community doctor in Edinburgh. And then, almost overnight, everything changed.

Intensive Care is a deeply personal account of caring for a society in crisis, from a GP who worked on the frontline of the pandemic response. From tiny island communities to the heart of a capital city, he reveals stories of loneliness and hope, illness and recovery, courage and ingenuity - and of what we can achieve when we care for each other.
