@MarkAxcellNHS opens the event talking about how we need to work differently, reduce health inequalities and go further in how we serve our under represented populations. The desire to learn and recognise this need is growing and housing is key to this.
@meskymac @DavidNichols0n What an absolute privilege it is for us locally to have such an inspirational leader with an incredible weight of experience supporting this work and laying the gauntlet down for the nhs to look beyond itself… a proud moment today. #ProudlyBlackCountry. #healthandhousing24
