Such an honour to chair this session. Incredible panellists, audience and discussion. Thank you @patients-association.org.uk!

Thank you to @wellcomecollection.bsky.social for being such champions of my book! “Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing is a thoughtful and compassionate look at how patients’ voices can be overlooked in healthcare. Inviting a deeper understanding of why listening truly matters.”

Great to be at the Royal College of Pharmacy Fellows’ dinner last night. So enjoyed @drrageshri.bsky.social as guest speaker re the Unheard. Reminder to listen better & use privilege to amplify. Reminded me of the desire for a Louding Voice. @clarepharmacy.bsky.social @raliatonatade.bsky.social

Goodbye 2025 🫶🏽

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.
