This conference was a timely opportunity to discuss latest thinking and initiatives aimed at addressing key issues:
- at a system-wide level - following the NHS Race and Health Observatory report Ethnic health inequalities and the NHS: driving progress in a changing system
- at a national policy level - with the Heath and Care Bill supporting the integration of local health and care in order to develop collaborative systems that can improve population health and outcomes
We also expected discussion on the independent Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities report as well as the wider determinants of race and ethnic disparities in the UK, looking at how these impact health outcomes and access to healthcare, and priorities for building trust, fairness, and inclusivity going forward.
Further sessions examined the next steps for addressing underlying health inequalities which have been highlighted during the pandemic, looking at policy priorities, what can be done to improve access, and reducing inequalities experienced by the health workforce.
We are pleased to have been able to include keynote contributions on:
- The way forward for tackling ethnic minority healthcare inequalities - with Dr Habib Naqvi, Director, NHS Race and Health Observatory
- Strengthening leadership and management across health and care and improving ethnic minority health outcomes - with Professor Mayur Lakhani, Chairman, The Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM)
- Priorities for policy and care to tackle inequalities across public health - with Professor Maggie Rae, President, Faculty of Public Health
