New podcast from Audible investigates gender bias in healthcare

The Bias Diagnosis has returned for a new series dissecting gender prejudice in modern healthcare.

A&E Doctor and host, Dr Ronx investigates topics such as living with debilitating illnesses, being less likely to be prescribed pain killers, and waiting years for treatment.

Following the success of the awarding winning first series, which investigated racial bias in healthcare, the podcast delves into gender bias across medicine.

From reproductive care and pregnancy to chronic conditions and neurodivergence, a variety of people confronting the issue on the front line contribute to the series. These include patients who share their experience of navigating the system, medical professionals, and even historians and academics who share how historical myths impact modern practice.

It provides an examination into how gender impacts health, discovering a gender bias in diagnosis and treatment, and how a lack of funding and exclusion from research has led to healthcare inequalities for women and those assigned female at birth.

The Bias Diagnosis series two is available to download from today, 2 March exclusively on Audible.
