Having been nominated for the National Bevan Prize for Health & Wellbeing for her commitment to advancing wellbeing in her community (Dr Nighat also practices in Urdu and Punjabi), she is one of the most inspiring GPs in her field.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Dr Nighat talk about the importance of diversity and inclusivity in medicine, medical misogyny and racism and the historical of neglect of women’s health in research.
