Grateful to see "Anti-Racist Medicine" featured in this double-page spread in the London Daily. The headline says it all: we have provided a "blueprint" for a truly equitable NHS. Now is the time to take action: please get in touch for collaboration and where we can go next.

Congratulations to PhD student @drzeshanqureshi.bsky.social, whose textbook 'Anti-Racist Medicine' was launched in Parliament. The book, co-created by Qureshi, is the first defining an anti-racist curriculum in medicine. He hopes it can help uphold the NHS fairness principle for all ethnic groups.
