Last week the BMJ published it’s first special edition into Racism in Medicine. The issues tacked ranged from differential attainment in medical school, to the physiological effects that experiencing everyday discrimination has.

The issue was guest edited by Victor Adebowale, the Chief Executive of the social care enterprise Turning Point, and Mala Rao, Professor of Public Health, at Imperial College London - and they, along with Simon Stevens, chief executive of the NHS, Chand Nagpul Chair of council of the BMA, and the Olalade Obedare, medical student from Nottingham University Medical School, talked at the event.
