I am very sad to hear of the Death of #AggreyBurke.

He was an inspirational teacher that taught me as a white middle class medical student, and confronted me about race and racism in Britain. He changed my whole worldview.

RIP a Great Briton.

‘We were made to feel like outcasts’: the psychiatrist who blew the whistle on racism in British medicine
Aggrey Burke was the NHS’s first Black consultant psychiatrist. Rather than becoming a pillar of the establishment, he was forced to challenge it when he saw how other people of colour were treated

I was one of his medical students back in the Eighties. Aggrey was a great teacher and cared greatly for his often very troubled patients.

He challenged me to think about racism in British society and changed my world view. He was a brilliant man and I mourn his passing.
We are very saddened to share the death of our long-standing Trustee and co-founder of the GPI, Dr Aggrey Burke. The first black consultant psychiatrist in the NHS, Aggrey became a pioneer in addressing the discrimination of diverse communities in the medical field. We are grateful for his service.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?
