In recent years, numerous tensions with Standard Model predictions have been seen in measurements of b->sll decays, most notably in the “lepton flavour universality ratio” measurements at LHCb. These tensions form a coherent pattern, which could suggest a new physical effect. In this talk, I will give an overview of this area, focussing on the most recent lepton flavour universality measurements at LHCb (see arXiv:2110.09501). I will discuss how these measurements are carried out, how they can inform models of new physics, and what the future might hold.
