So very proud of us and how far weโve come as a network @bame_STN ๐ซ
So empowering to see the commitment fellow healthcare scientists are showing towards addressing race inequality. Thanks @miceheath@girlymicro#HCSEd2021 โจ
ICYMI - we gave our first-ever in-person talk at #HCSEd21 on Monday! ๐ค
We discussed racial barriers to accessing education and training, how racial inequities manifest within the NHS, and what managers & individuals can do to help address these issues.

I got to meet my audiology heroes IRL today! Proud to have joined a profession that cares so much about patient experiences and inclusive working. Fan girling to the max ๐คฉ @SairaHussain90 @RajasingamSaima@BhavishaJParmar#bsaconf2021
The brilliant @bame_STN network about their work leading on supporting diversity within HCS
Such an important issue that we need to actively plan to address #HCSEd21
Our new infographic marking #BlackHistoryMonth has been created to raise awareness and give a snapshot glimpse of the different forms of health inequality that many black and minority ethnic communities face on a daily basis.

๐ขOur statement on the new STP Core Curriculum
We are calling for @NSHCS to revise the curriculum, to directly address healthcare inequalities and the harm that it presents to our patients.
