Racism in Pharmacy: De-Prescribing a Hushed Reality is a bold and necessary examination of systemic racism within the pharmacy profession. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience in the UK's National Health Service, Elsy A. Gomez Campos shares her personal journey alongside a critical analysis of institutional bias, unequal career progression, and racially biased patient care practices.
From pharmacy school to hospital leadership roles, this book exposes how discrimination manifests in education, hiring, training, and even in the medicines patients receive. With powerful personal narratives and thorough research, Campos spotlights racial disparities that remain unspoken in healthcare systems and challenges the silence around them.
This book is both an eye-opener and a call to action-for healthcare professionals, educators, policymakers, and readers who care about building inclusive, equitable systems. It also delivers actionable strategies for systemic change, promoting anti-racism and diversity in pharmacy practice and leadership.
A must-read for those committed to health equity, social justice, and reforming the culture of healthcare from within.
