This article aims to explore how Afro‐Caribbean women's experiences and perceptions of the NHS can be elucidated by their race, class and gender position. Their relationship to GPs and their experience as hospital in‐patients are considered. Also discussed is how they feel the NHS fails to meet their needs and how lack of resources is held to play a crucial role in this. Finally, the article examines their consumer‐oriented approach to the NHS and the implications of this for private health care
