"Are you really the doctor?"

As a black doctor working on the frontline of the NHS, Matt Hutchinson hears these words all too often. In this book, he offers a compelling glimpse into the unvarnished reality of working in healthcare as a member of an ethnic minority.

Tracing his journey from medical school through to working at some of the country's most chaotic hospitals, Matt shows how the community of immigrant healthcare workers are the true backbone of the NHS and offers an honest insight into the unique challenges that non-white patients face when navigating the healthcare system.

From workplace drama to fighting life-threatening diseases, join Matt Hutchinson in the trenches of our healthcare system as he offers a candid and often hilarious insight into the messy life of a Black British doctor.

This audiobook includes an exclusive Q&A between Matt Hutchinson and Benji Waterhouse, author of You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here.
