Books by Rachel Clarke

Rachel Clarke is an NHS hospital doctor who specialises in caring for patients at the end of life. She originally studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at university. Prior to her career in medicine, she worked as a television journalist, producing and directing current affairs documentaries on subjects such as Al Qaeda, the Gulf War and the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, before deciding at the age of 29 to retrain as a doctor. When the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, sought to impose a new contract upon junior doctors, Rachel was at the forefront of the campaign against the government, arguing in print and on screen that imposition would irrevocably damage the NHS.
