Episode 71: Women in healthcare-disparities in medicine and leadership02 Aug 202400:42:13

Listen to Dr Rohan Mehra, RCP clinical education fellow, (Infectious diseases/microbiology SPR) and Dr Mumtaz Patel, as they shine a spotlight on female leadership in healthcare. They discuss many of the issues facing women in leadership position within healthcare and the challenges faced in reaching those positions. Inequality remains deeply engrained within the healthcare workforce and urgently needs addressed and Mumtaz and Rohan outline how this could be done.
Dr Mumtaz Patel is a consultant in nephrology in Manchester as well as senior censor and vice president for education performing presidential duties including chair of council for the RCP. Mumtaz previously launched a global women leaders programme, on which she remains an active educator, which empowers female physicians to advance into leadership roles, which continues to be hugely successful to this day. This programme aims to narrow the gender leadership gap globally and is tailored to a local context to address these issues in smart sustainable targeted ways. It is also aligned to the Emerging women’s leaders programme which focuses on the same issues within the UK which Mumtaz has also been instrumental in creating. Mumtaz also recently won the prestigious ‘Outstanding Leader award’ at the Global women in Healthcare awards.
