Speakers/Presenters

• 

  Dr Ruaridh Buchanan, Infectious Diseases & Microbiology Consultant, Barts Health NHS Trust, East London
  

  I am a consultant in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology at Barts Health NHS Trust in East London, an area with a large and mobile immigrant population, many of whom suffer socio-economic deprivation. As well as providing inpatient care for these patients I am involved in running the tuberculosis and outpatient IV antibiotic services for Tower Hamlets and Newham boroughs, a combined population of nearly 700,000 people.
  My early training took place in the East of England, with my training in infection taking me to Oxford as well as a number of different parts of London. Working in such a variety of areas I have become all too aware of healthcare inequalities and the various difficulties that vulnerable patients can face in accessing healthcare; from the obvious, such as language barriers and mobility issues, to the more subtle interplay of cultural and social differences, as well as hidden costs of healthcare.

• Dr Yannis Gourtsoyannis, Infectious Diseases & Medical Microbiology SpR, Barts NHS Trust
  

  I am an Infectious Diseases doctor having worked in London for more than 10 years. I look after patients in hospital, advise medical teams about antibiotic use and help run the laboratory. I have also been very much involved in trade union politics and NHS campaigning.
