#277 Health Inequity & trying to solve the problem with Dr Shivani Sharma

The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey

It has been a pleasure having Dr Shivani Sharma on The Business of Healthcare Podcast this week.

Dr Shivani Sharma is Head of the Department of Psychology, Sport, and Geography at the University of Hertfordshire. She is an advocate for making health and psychological care accessible and equitable for all, mitigating disadvantages arising from factors such as ethnicity, economic means, gender, disability, or language. Her research on health inequalities has a particular focus on making science inclusive so that the voices of those impacted by health gaps are central to re-imagining how care is planned and delivered. Inclusion also features as a prominent theme within Shivani’s practice as a leader in higher education, something for which she has been recognised nationally.

We discuss;

Shivani's educational journey

Extending the ladder for others

Health Equity

The language in higher education

Owning your own space

The importance of languange adaptation
