Pacemaker
Dr Marc Slee is the subject of another programme in "The Pacemakers.” Dr Slee is a family doctor in Britain, working in the market town of Witney, near Oxford. What makes Marc Slee special is that he is showing the way for new developments in the family doctor service, new trends in medicine, and new ways in which Britain’s National Health Service is developing to help its patients. Dr Slee brought about the construction of a new health centre for Witney, and the town’s seven family doctors work from there. They share facilities, experience, and skills. Specialists come to the centre for weekly outpatient clinics. Other welfare services available in Britain are incorporated in the same building. These include midwives, district nurses, health visitors, and the service which provides domestic help when a mother is in hospital or convalescing. All this means that the family doctor’s role is developing, not shrinking, as many expected in an age of increasing specialisation. “The Pacemakers —Dr Mare Slee” was produced for London Television and it screens from CHTV3 next Tuesday.
