#102 Offender healthcare

Dr Rachael Pickering is a British-trained family medicine specialist. Since 2007 she has majored on offender healthcare. When in the UK she locums within English prisons.

She is the co-founder of Integritas Healthcare, a faith-inspired NGO with a HEART for detainees – delivering Healthcare, Expertise, Advocacy, Research & Training for & about detainees. The pandemic gave Integritas the opportunity to branch out into telemedicine. But in the non-virtual world, Rachael spends about a quarter of her life working behind bars in the Philippines and other low- and middle-income countries.

Rachael is married to fellow prison doctor Mark who is also the CEO of the UK's CMF. Their greatest joy is their young adult daughter Zoe who spent most of her teenage years hopping in and out of Asian jails. She became the best healthcare assistant a prison doc could wish for!
