Matt Hutchinson has become the latest comedian to write his NHS memoirs.

His book – Are You Really the Doctor? – will be published on September 4 and focus on his experiences of being a black medic in the health service.

Hutchinson is a junior doctor specialising in rheumatology and general medicine as well as being a comic who got to the the final of the Leicester Square  and Hackney Empire new act competitions and made his Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2023.

Publisher Bonnier Books say that in his this memoirs, ‘he offers a compelling glimpse into the unvarnished reality of working in healthcare as a member of an ethnic minority.

‘Tracing his journey from medical school through to working at some of the country's most chaotic hospitals, Matt shows how the community of immigrant healthcare workers are the true backbone of the NHS and offers an honest insight into the unique challenges that non-white patients face when navigating the healthcare system.

‘From Workplace drama to fighting life-threatening diseases, join Matt Hutchinson in the trenches of our healthcare system as he offers a candid and often hilarious insight into the messy life of a black British doctor.’

He is the latest comic to write about his experiences in the health service, following the blockbuster success of Adam Kay’s This Is Going To Hurt and its follow-ups. Benji Waterhouse has written about his work as a psychiatrist in You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here (which is out in paperback next week) and Ed Patrick has written about being an  anaesthetist  in Catch Your Breath.
