Dr. Suhail Hussain joins The Third Eye Doctor for a quietly incendiary discussion of matters of race, religion, culture and history in healthcare.

Can there be a stronger relationship with spirituality in healthcare? And what is the importance of religion in medicine across the UK and the wider world?

From implicit bias and lazy stereotyping of minority patients by doctors within (and outside of) the NHS, to experiences of outright racism, Dr. Hussain explains the need for decolonisation of medical practice and our own attitudes in an ever more culturally diverse world.
