Viewpoints: race and racism in primary care
The Black Lives Matter campaign has highlighted issues of race and racism which are present in all parts of our communities and organisations. BJGP Open invited short Viewpoints to document experiences of racism in primary care as a patient, practitioner, trainee, or researcher.
This initiative sits outside the usual BJGP Open framework for research and commentary, and was created as a rapid access format for sharing information.
