Translating the Sunday Times bestseller into both a stage show and a hit BBC television series that reflects the challenges and triumphs of working in the NHS, Kay has now become a prominent writer, performer, and activist. 'Undoctored' follows on from 'This Is Going To Hurt', containing his further adventures both on and off the wards.
