Because #MedEd should be more like jazz. Disruptive.
Medicine prides itself in patient centred care. Which patients are centred? Which patients are relegated to the margins? What systems - historical and present – influence where patients find themselves?
This week’s GroupThink Piece is Your Queen Is A Reptile, @SonsOfKemet third album. With each track named after different women of colour - Mamie Phipps Clark, Angela Davis, Yaa Asantewaa - this album challenges patriarchy, British nationalism, colonialism, and the monarchy. 1/3
The journey continues! Week 2: What does “Decolonising Medicine” mean? A word we have heard more and more, in this session we ask what is decolonisation, why is it an important practice and how can we bring it about?
Wed 22nd June, 7.30pm - 9.30pm.

What systems - historical and present – influence where patients find themselves? Often, medical theory and practice frames itself to be void of the systems that harm. Is this accurate? How do we disrupt these oppressive systems? Join us today at 7pm to chat ✨
We've been listening to @SonsOfKemet for this weeks #GroupThink. Medicine prides itself in patient centred care. Which patients are centred? Which patients are relegated to the margins?

“The world of experimental music and sound art is very elitist, racist and centres on white expression. Asian artists are pioneers of “noise” music.”
