What if the healthcare system you trusted failed you for 20 years? Meet Rowena Estwick, an inspiring advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, who shares her experience of being misdiagnosed and untreated for an autoimmune condition while growing up in South London.
In this episode of Brand New Dr., we uncover Rowena's journey from personal suffering to professional empowerment, highlighting her relentless pursuit of improving healthcare for marginalised communities.
Rowena highlights the often-overlooked challenges of implementing DEI initiatives within organisational cultures, especially in charitable organisations. We explore misconceptions about these organisations being immune to bias, the realistic limits of achievable goals, and the phenomenon of ‘support resistance.’ Rowena underscores the urgent need for actionable steps and continuous improvement, even when the path forward is unclear. Her perspective offers a compelling exploration of the delicate balance between data and personal narratives in driving meaningful change.
We also explore medical education and the necessity of dismantling hierarchical barriers. We tackle the historical intertwining of Western medicine and colonialism, stressing the importance of redefining institutional norms to foster justice and accountability.
