BM BSc (Hons) MSc MRCPCH

Hi, I’m Zeshan Qureshi — a London-based paediatrician with a portfolio career in education, research, entrepreneurship, and advocacy.

Thank you for visiting my page and your interest in my work. I love practising medicine, but I also feel like we need to constantly strive to improve what we do. Through my work outside the hospital walls, I aim to bring awareness to current challenges in medicine, and crucially how to overcome them.

Paediatrics

I practise in all areas of paediatrics, including General Paediatrics, Neonatology, and Emergency Medicine. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to deliver patient-centred care to sick children in the local community.

Research

My primary focus is anti-racism, but I have also published research in cardiology, global health, paediatrics, COVID-19 and medical education.

Education

I lead The Unofficial Guide to Medicine textbook series and coedit the Oxford Textbook of Global Health of Women, Newborns, Children, and Adolescents. My books have won awards from the British Medical Association, British Institute of Radiology, and The Association for the Study of Medical Education.

Anti-racism

I have contributed to antiracist policy development through collaborations with the BMA, the GMC, and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. I speak out about racial injustice within medicine and beyond, as well as putting forward solutions to common, everyday problems. My newest book, Anti-racist medicine, is due for publication in 2026.
