Recommendations for exhibitions in London please! I recently saw Jenny Saville at the National Portrait Gallery which was incredible.

Being heard is an important part of what makes us human. When we are not heard in healthcare, we become dehumanised. How can we ensure the voices of most powerless in medicine are listened to and valued? I explore this in my book ‘UNHEARD: The Medical Practice of Silencing’ out now.

“If your words have no power, it is almost worse to speak them than not, to see them fail than not” Rebecca Solnit This so clearly describes the phenomenon of ‘testimonial smothering’ (Kristie Dotson) which I think contributes to medical silencing at many levels.
