Discussion - What works in reducing
race inequality in healthcare?

Engender trust & create trust
Make data publicly available
Redistribute power to communities
Centre communities & let them lead
Be accountable to pledges to foster
equity
Incentivise AND disincentivise
#RHOConf22 How do we elevate conversation from
analysis to action & policy to practice?
Moral & ethical imperative
Not all feel moral duty, find key lever
Disaggregation of data gives actionable
insight to drive change
Power of appreciative enquiry not deficit

What works in Reducing Race Inequality in Health and Healthcare? #RHOConf22

📌Recognise the problem - racism is the fundamental cause of inequity
📌Understand how racism shapes our lives
📌Overcoming racism is a call to action not an impossible target
📌Lack of policy
📌Stigma Types of #racism
📌Structural racism
📌Interpersonal racism - everyday verbal/physical abuse which are ALL forms of violence
📌Institutional racism - from orgs which shape our access to resources & amplify inequality

Institutions are the place for action

It’s a common issue globally - driven by a lack of acknowledgement/understanding/involvement What do we mean by culture? #RHOConf22 @HatchStephani

📌 Definitions & conceptual frameworks vary across disciplines
📌 Culture is socially constructed, linked to identities & evolves over place
& time
📌 Culture is DYNAMIC & entrenched in social and historical contexts

It’s a place where things get done @Voa1234

How an org values it’s ethnic minority staff is a good barometer of how well patients are likely to feel irrespective of skin colour

It’s about #leadership Now @DrHNaqvi starting with a quote from #JRRTolkein #RHOConf22
