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!

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.
