I haven’t been able to put this book down. @drrageshri.bsky.social names, in such a balanced way, so many of the tensions and barriers that exist for medical doctors and patients in the context of the NHS. I’m compelled to keep reading, but I’ll get nothing else done this weekend 😂 Buy this book!

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Some photos from the rather wonderful and very atmospheric @oldoptheatre.bsky.social this week, where I gave a talk on #Unheard voices in medicine. It was lovely to see some familiar faces and have a fantastic and detailed discussion! Would highly recommend visiting the museum.

If you’re looking for a weekend HIV-focused listen (or read — we’ve got a transcript!), I can hardly think of a better one than Rageshri’s words on how to improve outcomes by giving your patients your ear. I’m still thrilled she joined me for this conversation!

"Listening carefully helps doctors to diagnose patients, but it can also help us to diagnose problems in our healthcare systems and society that harm health." @drrageshri.bsky.social #healthequity Listening is a tool for health equity, not just a soft skill

A stellar issue of the @bmjstudent.bsky.social edited by @georgeawebster.bsky.social that I’m very proud to be a part of! Can wait to read it all. @bmj.com @kamranabbasi.bsky.social

This is a really important survey! Please share in your networks.

Are you: ✅working in a UK sexual health service that provides #PrEP, AND ✅willing to take part in a 15 minute survey? We are conducting a brief survey of sexual health clinics for our #beyondtheclinic study. You can complete the survey here: bit.ly/40weNaX #studyparticipants

“Medicine has a long history of doctors doubting patients, experienced not only by people from minoritised groups, but those with conditions that are poorly understood or difficult to treat” www.bmj.com/content/390/...

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.

Looking for recommendations for writing on what it’s like to be a medical relative of a patient. This year has been my first real experience of this and I’m learning everyday. Any suggestions welcomed!
