DMA Politics Podcast 18: Dr Philippa Whitford MP - a podcast by Public Affairs

This week, Michael speaks to the SNP's Spokesperson for Health at Westminster, Dr Philippa Whitford MP, about the Scottish Government's new contact tracing app, Protect Scotland. 

Prior to becoming the MP for Central Ayrshire, Dr Whitford was a breast cancer surgeon in the NHS for 30 years and has enormous experience in health in practice, and now, in health policy. 

As well as diving into the discussion around the Protect Scotland app, how it works and the various ethical issues surrounding their use, we chat about her experience as a doctor and how parliament is coping in the coronavirus pandemic.

You can read more from Dr Whitford and many other experts in policy, academia and industry, in our COVID-19 Contact Tracing App article series as part of the Value of Data campaign on our website.
