This 1st episode of the Community, Health and Capital series interviews Dr Mark Spencer, a GP in Fleetwood in Lancashire. Mark talks through his career as a GP and how an encounter with a young man suffering from alcohol problems changed the way Mark thought about what value primary care and integrated services could bring to a community.
After repeated and sustained engagement with residents of the area, Healthier Fleetwood, a "social movement" powered by residents to steer what opportunities and services are created in the area, was born. Mark describes how powerful this new approach has been to his own passion for general practice, to recruitment, and of course to community residents themselves.
