BIMA is pleased to collaborate with NHS England on a new series of short educational videos designed to support a safe and healthy Ramadan.

In this three-part series, BIMA President Dr Sahira Dar shares practical guidance for patients and communities. The videos cover key areas including:

• Health and medication while fasting
• Sleep, hydration and eating well
• Vaccinations and common concerns during the fasting month

Key Reminders

• Speak to your GP before fasting if you have a medical condition.
• Never stop prescribed medication without medical advice.
• Islamic guidance provides clear exemptions where fasting may not be safe.

Supporting Patients and Colleagues

By working together with NHS England, BIMA continues to advocate for equitable, culturally informed healthcare that supports both professional practice and community wellbeing.

We encourage healthcare professionals to share these resources with colleagues and patients who may benefit.
