We've just published a new rapid review on the safety and efficacy of physician and anaesthetic associates in the UK, which was commissioned to support the ongoing Leng review of these new roles in the NHS.

Habib Naqvi is director of the NHS Race and Health Observatory, and is holding up a mirror to the NHS on it's support for ethnic minority patients and doctors - he joins us to talk about the work they've done, and why Reform UK's manifesto pledge to disband the Observatory is a matter of pride.
Finally, our annual trip to the Nuffield Summit is not complete without a roundtable, this year we asked the question "What is stopping staff from speaking up?".

Our panel;
Katie Bramall-Stainer, chair of the General Practice Committee of the BMA Jugdeep Dhesi, consultant in geriatric medicine at Guys and St Thomas Hopsital Henrietta Hughes, the UK's patient safety commissioner Thea Stein, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust
