Great to be part of the #NHS move to focus on Black African - Caribbean communities for #betterhealth. We can still enjoy our foods & be healthy! Start making healthy changes – today could be your day one. #BetterHealth: https://t.co/GD2oh52vhW
To what extent have the higher Covid deaths amongst those in minority ethnic groups led to a loss of trust? My question to Dr Habib Naqvi, Director, NHS Race and Health Observatory
@Jeremy_Hunt@DrHNaqvi Thanks @DrHNaqvi for highlighting that this is not a new phenomenon. The pandemic has only shone the light brighter on what we already know about health inequalities. The evidence is very clear. Its the actions toward reducing these imbalances that we need to improve
'The effort of explaining and undoing discrimination shouldn’t fall on those most affected by it; this work must also be taken on by those who continue to benefit from it.' @DrHNaqvi

@MuradMerali So sorry to hear about your loss. You are doing a great job! @cxc0_ & @JustineJoy312 are our winners too. As a UK black psychologist one’s mental health is so important. You are all coping so well despite pressures. Great to see + relationship dynamics being portrayed too!
