This is the fourth episode in an ongoing series on the theme of Health Inequalities, which we will return to throughout the year. It has been developed in collaboration with Melanin Medics, a national UK charity organisation focusing on promoting diversity in medicine, widening aspirations and aiding career progression for the Afro-Caribbean community. Throughout the course of the series, we will explore current inequalities in both patient and professional outcomes and illustrate the steps that must be taken to ensure equality and fairness for all. This episode will discuss the impact of socioeconomic inequalities on healthcare delivery. Presented by Ayomide Ayorinde, Education and Training Officer for Melanin Medics and Professor Neena Modi, professor of Neonatal Medicine at Imperial College London and President-elect of the British Medical Association, this episode considers the barriers to good health outcomes created by socioeconomic inequalities, and what individual healthcare practitioners can do to mitigate them.
