Testimonials"This comprehensive and thoroughly researched text takes the reader on a journey through the history of medicine which systematically disentangles genetics, race science, and the political and cultural forces which have shaped medicine and health related research." -Professor Rohini Mathur, Chair of Health Data Science, Queen Mary University of London"Anti-Racist Medicine is timely and prescient" -Professor Sir Aziz Sheikh OBE, Head of Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford"This book is long overdue as a text that lays out the history and the science of race, and then crucially what that means for our patients and our workforce." -Camilla Kingdon, Consultant Paediatrician, Former President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health"I have enjoyed reading this very comprehensive book., which puts forwards a vision for antiracist medicine - both for our patients and the public, but also for the staff who work in our NHS." -Professor Kamila Hawthorne MBE, Chair Royal College of General Practitioners Council"Antiracist Medicine is a powerful, comprehensive, and well referenced account of racism as experienced by patients and healthcare professionals." -Dame Parveen Kumar OBE, Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Education, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London"An urgent and necessary contribution to anti-racist medicine." -Ramesh Mehta CBE, Founder and President of the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin"Ultimately, Antiracist Medicine is an urgent call to action to ensure that all healthcare workers and people who use the NHS have equal opportunities to improve their workplace experience and health outcomes, respectively." -Professor Ranee Thakar, President, Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology"Anti-racist medicine stands as a testament to understanding racism as a determinant of health. It sets out the concepts in detail, dissecting the pathways by which racism leads to health outcomes in each specialty and, importantly, describes what we should do, both individually and at a system level. Anti-racist medicine is essential reading for all health professionals, not only for those interested in the topic." -Professor Delan Devakumar, Lead of The Lancet Series on racism, xenophobia, discrimination and health"This book provides an in-depth, evidence-based and balanced overview of the current landscape and provides helpful overviews of the three key areas of anti-racist medicine: the theoretical foundations/key concepts; the implications of racism on clinical care and health outcomes and finally a synthesis of approaches that could be adopted in the future to start to address the current health inequities." -Dr Mark Lillicrap, Professor of Medical Education Practice and Honorary Consultant Rheumatologist, University of Cambridge
