Dr Rachael Pickering
MBBS MA MRCGP DRCOG

A British family medicine specialist with long experience of offender healthcare both in UK prisons and internationally, Rachael is our co-founder.

The voluntary leading of our organisation takes up most of her time, and so she is in Asia for up to a third of each year. When in the UK she does occasional locums in prisons and helps a hospice adapt its services to vulnerable patients including prisoners.

She is married to our other co-founder Mark. Outside of medicine, she enjoys many things including kick boxing and SCUBA diving. A qualified diving instructor, she particularly enjoys wreck diving and diving against debris.
