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.

It’s #WorldPatientSafetyDay! My book Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing explores whose voices are systematically dismissed & disbelieved in medicine & how this impacts patient safety & health equity. And crucially, what we can do to address this!

“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”

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.
