Tips for listening, and how to avoid dismissing young women
In this really interesting episode, Doctors Lisa and Sara talk to Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan - Consultant in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine, and Dr Laura Tinner - Research Fellow in Centre for Public Health, at Bristol University. Rageshri talks about her lived experience of being dismissed in a medical situation, despite her professional background and how this led to her researching the topic in depth, and writing a book on the subject. Laura speaks to a piece of research she carried out around the views of young women accessing medical care and explains that we need to put more emphasis on listening in healthcare. They both talk to the system pressures and challenges that lead to patients feeling dismissed, but also share practical advice and tips for what healthcare professionals can do to help certain groups of people feel more heard in healthcare. You can use these podcasts as part of your CPD - we don’t do certificates but they still count :) Resources: Unheard - The Medical Practice of Silencing by Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan: https://amzn.eu/d/03u4y1DX Animation about a young women’s experience of healthcare accessible through the embedded link on this site: https://ayph.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/SHIFT-Improving-young-womens-care-resource-sheet.pdf The Association for Young People’s Health: https://ayph.org.uk/ The Young Women’s Movement: https://youngwomenscot.org/ Training session: Enquiries taken by Association for Young People’s Health who have a 90-minute training course to healthcare professionals.

The training uses the animation pillars to go through scenarios and exercises.
