Health Inequalities: Implicit Bias in Career Progression

This is the tenth 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. Presented by David Faluyi, Academia and research oficer for Melanin Medics and Andrew Alalade, consultant neurosurgeon, this episode considers how implicit bias affects career progression in surgery.
