We’ll also explore the principles of allyship and discuss actions that community organisations can take to support the health, wellbeing, equity, and inclusion of Black and racialised minority (BRM) communities. Louise Knight and Katie Cuming from Public Health will present Health Counts data, with a particular focus on findings relating to BRM populations.

There will be time for shared learning, discussion and networking with other organisations working in health and social care. We encourage everyone involved in health and social care to attend and contribute to the conversation.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
