NHS England and NHS Confederation launch expert research centre on health inequalities
NHS England and the NHS Confederation have confirmed the creation of a new centre to investigate the impact of race and ethnicity on people’s health.
The NHS Race and Health Observatory, which will be hosted by the NHS Confederation, will identify and tackle the specific health challenges facing people from BAME backgrounds.
It comes amid significant concerns about the particular impact of the COVID-19 virus on people from black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) backgrounds.
The Observatory will involve experts from this country and internationally, and will offer analysis and policy recommendations to improve health outcomes for NHS patients, communities and staff.
