Our Chair Prof Faye Ruddock DL and Chief Executive Charles Kwaku-Odoi DL MFPH were invited to attend a ministerial roundtable hosted at the Department of Health and Social Care yesterday afternoon, by Secretary of State James Murray and Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy.
The ministerial roundtable was held focused on #ProstateCancer screening and research to tackle #HealthInequalities, especially for Black men who are disproportionately impacted by prevalence, poor access to clinical trials, research, screening etc.

Our Chair, Prof Faye Ruddock DL, appeared live on Sky News' News Hour with Mark Austin today speaking powerfully on the ongoing issue of racism within the NHS.

Prof. Faye made clear: these findings are nothing new. Racism doesn't only affect patients it runs deep through the staff experience too, and that has a very real impact on the entire healthcare system and the communities it serves.
We extend our sincere thank you to Baroness Valerie Amos for this important and necessary report.
We have genuine hope that Wes Streeting will take these findings seriously and ensure that real, meaningful action follows.

Today's attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester is a tragedy that has shaken us.
CAHN extends our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives, the families, and the entire Jewish community affected.
At a time when we are witnessing a deeply troubling rise in racism and discrimination across our communities, we must stand firmly together against hatred in all its forms.
