Conversations about Alcohol – Episode 4 – Recovery part 2

In this episode, our podcast host and GP Dr Rachel Phillips is joined by Dr David McCartney, addiction specialist and former Clinical Lead at the Lothians & Edinburgh Abstinence Programme (LEAP). 

By sharing his lived experience, Dr McCartney aims to challenge the stigma that health professionals often carry towards their patients and themselves. This honest conversation opens up vital discussions around the realities of early recovery and the unequal access to treatment and support.
