Doctors are trained under the ethos of the Hippocratic oath - to do no harm. But what happens when harm comes not from conscious actions, but unconscious bias?
Investigative journalist Layal Liverpool, author of Systemic, has unearthed the shocking research and articulates the vital solutions to the issue of structural racism in medicine. Across the world, in every country she has studied and in every area of medicine she examined, health outcomes are worse for people of colour compared to their white counterparts - regardless of their income, place of birth or age.
From cardiovascular disease to viruses, from cancer to mental illness, she has delved into the reasons racial health disparities exist and will reveal that diseases are not ‘great equalisers’ - not when you live in an unequal society. Join Layal and discover how the widespread adoption of new, anti-racist medical standards will be central in creating a healthier world for everyone.
