Inverness GP Dr Iain Kennedy, the British Medical Association's Scottish council chairman, joins us for a full interview on the stresses and strains in the NHS.
We look into the findings of our own survey which explores real-life experiences of the health service.
Dr Kennedy has clear messages to the political leaders who will find the NHS front and centre of the May 2026 Scottish elections.
He points out where the service is struggling, and where it shows encouraging signs of progress.
