Politics and Healthcare (with Dr. Rosi Sexton)

Evie from PhysiosOnline talks with Dr. Rosemary Sexton. Rosi is an osteopath and Green Party councillor. She has been a professional MMA fighter,  and was the first woman in the UK to fight in the UFC. She is also mathematician having studied maths at Cambridge and received her PhD from Manchester University.

Rosi and Evie connected on twitter over a thread discussing how politics might influence healthcare professionals' decision-making and treatment approaches.  

In this interview, we discuss

Why, as an osteopath, Rosi became interested in politics and became a local councillor
Why she chose the Green Party specifically
Problem-solving as the underlying challenge in both her clinical practice and political work
Rosi encourages other healthcare professionals to engage in politics, particularly at a local level.
