Listen to Dr Rohan Mehra, RCP clinical education fellow, (Infectious diseases/microbiology SPR) and Professor Habib Naqvi as they highlight health inequalities that exist due to race and what you can do to improve this situation. Sadly, racism is still pervasive in society and healthcare is not immune from this and needs urgently addressed. They explore some of the inequalities that exist due to race, how they need to be tackled and what you can do in your daily practice to try and address these ongoing  challenges.
