Doctors of the World is a leading charitable organisation which aims to break down barriers to healthcare and prevent social injustice for millions, both globally and within the UK. Currently based in London, Doctors of the World provide medical care, information, and practical resources for minority groups who continue to struggle with access to basic healthcare. In this month’s episode of the Practice Manager podcast, Nicola, Robyn and Ben are joined by Dr Yusuf Ciftci, Policy and Advocacy Manager, and National Health Advisor Janet, from Doctors of the World to discuss the issues of access in-depth. From the thorny issues of current bureaucracy, prejudice and misunderstanding to re-education and improvements via the medium of programmes such as the Surgeries Initiative, and a powerful personal account of Janet’s own experiences, today’s podcast is a must-listen for general practice in raising awareness of the importance of inclusion – and improving health outcomes for all.
