Keeping Faith in Listening with Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan
Manage episode 443488578 series 3557160
Why do so many women and marginalised communities feel silenced in medical settings? How do we keep faith in ourselves when we feel we aren’t being heard? Can we empower patients and providers to make sure everyone feels listened to in healthcare?
In this episode we speak to NHS consultant and researcher Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan, author of the new book 'Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing', which unpacks why patients are so often disbelieved by their doctors and her hopes for a future where listening is at the heart of healthcare.
Follow Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan on Twitter/X, Instagram or via her website. Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing is available now as a hardback, ebook and audiobook.
