About this listen

Five patients, one treatment room, and a broken healthcare system.

Ivan Beckley is about to become a fully-qualified doctor in the UK. But he’s not convinced that healthcare works for everyone equally.

In this series he uncovers one of the biggest and most insidious injustices in modern medicine. Fixing it could save thousands of lives every year. And yet it’s invisible, unless it directly affects you.

Statistics show that black and people of colour have worse health outcomes, and die more often than white people, across many fields of medicine and variety of illnesses.

Ivan’s search for answers takes him to the roots of modern medicine. He busts myths, debunks stereotypes and calls out misinformation that have existed for centuries and remain sadly very much alive today.

A Whistledown production for Audible Originals.

Absolutely disgusting that there hasn't been an overhaul of ALL systems within our societies to stomp out racial disparities. Amazing amazing research and examinations

Very confronting to think I hadn't seen evidence of this before. Even having worked in health care, I didn't see this. But then I probably wasn't looking either. It shows me how being white has been seen as being right all these years, surely it is time for it to change!
