Melanin Medics presents the first conversation of the second season in the Black History Month Podcast series - Transforming the face of Medicine. We speak to Dr Abeyna Bubbers-Jones about her journey into medicine and how she started her organisation, Medic Footprints. Dr Abeyna is a Consultant Occupation Health Physician and the founder of Medic Footprints, a social impact organisation connecting doctors with alternative careers and wellbeing support. In this episode, we discuss the challenges she faced during her journey and how she overcame this and used the lessons learned into creating a successful organisation. We delve into the realities of being a doctor in the NHS and explore the culture that prevents doctors from exploring careers outside of medicine.   To find out more about Melanin Medics, you can find us on Twitter and Instagram @MelaninMedics or via our website www.melaninmedics.com To find out more about Medic Footprints, check out their website www.medicfootprints.org
