Advocacy

The British Islamic Medical Association (BIMA) advocates for dignity, equity, and cultural understanding for Muslim healthcare staff and patients across the UK.

Support Clinic

You Are Not Alone

If you or a colleague are facing investigations/threats at work relating to your Muslim identity or supporting causes such as Palestine and standing up against Islamophobia, we can help.

Our service is open to BIMA members and allies outside of our communities, including non-clinicians in the health system. We are aggregating anonymised data and reporting these to system partners to advocate stronger responses to the Islamophobia and racism.

Specialist Support for General Members

BIMA’s Specialist Services provide General members with access to trusted experts across a range of professional and personal support areas, helping them navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and thrive throughout their careers and beyond.

Members can submit a request for support, which will be reviewed by the BIMA team and your preferred partner.

  • A free 30 minute initial legal consultation
  • A discounted legal rate of £250 + VAT per hour for ongoing support
  • Specialist advice on disciplinary, regulatory and fitness to practise matters

Help Us Fund the Support Clinic

The BIMA Support Clinic provides confidential legal, pastoral and mental health support to Muslim healthcare professionals and allies facing discrimination, Islamophobia, or disproportionate scrutiny for speaking out on humanitarian and ethical issues. It has already helped many navigate challenges at work and gather evidence to push for systemic change.

Your donations help sustain and expand this vital service ensuring healthcare professionals can work with dignity, integrity, and confidence in raising concerns without fear. Donate to BIMA using the reference ‘SUPPORT’ and help protect voices that care for others.
