Dr Clare Fleming is a GP in Bristol city centre. Compass Health is an NHS service providing healthcare for homeless and vulnerably housed adults via doctors, nurses and complex needs case workers collaborating closely with a wide variety of local agencies.

Clare provides the medical support for two “Wet Clinics” per week for street drinkers and others who have been unable to engage with local alcohol services. She also worked for several years with the Bristol Specialist Drug & Alcohol service.

Her understanding of recovery from addiction is underpinned by her personal experience of the life change involved in recovering from severe chronic fatigue syndrome 20 years ago. Her presentation combines her photography with her medical experience.
