In this episode, we speak to Dr Rebecca Payne, GP and Clinical Senior Lecturer at Bangor University, about a fantastic project transforming out-of-hours healthcare in North Wales. The REMeDy machine (Remote Medication Made Easy) is a new technology allowing patients to access urgent prescriptions like antibiotics when local pharmacies are closed.

Dr Payne shares how a Twitter rant led to a groundbreaking collaboration between Bangor University, Oxford University, and the NHS. From stormy nights in Orkney to rural communities in Wales, she discusses the project’s development, the challenges of remote healthcare, and how real-world research and community insight are shaping more accessible services for all.

This is a great example of how academic research and local partnerships can drive meaningful innovation in healthcare.
