Humanising Healthcare - podcast series

The Humanising Healthcare podcast explores the work of researchers who have identified and are aiming to address inequalities within their fields by introducing more person-centred approaches. It is brought to you by Dr Manasi Nandi, Reader in Integrative Pharmacology in the School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Series one focused on health inequalities impacting women as part of the King’s Women in STEMM Season.

We are now delighted to bring you a second series, all about healthcare inequalities in the context of the development, deployment and use of new medicines and diagnostics.

Please bookmark this page and check back each week for a new episode.
