Dear All, I hope this is not a duplication but I though you would be interested to hear of two conferences on race and health issues. The first is organised by the Transcultural Nursing & Healthcare Association entitled 'Culturally Competent Healthcare; Do we understand it? How do we provide it? It will take place on 5th March 2002 in London. Further details from Julie Partridge on 020 7233 5750 or e-mail: [log in to unmask] The second conference takes place in Leeds on Thursday 25th & Friday 26th April. It is organised by Leeds Community and Mental Health Services NHS Trust and looks at the Social and Cultural Factors influencing the Mental Health of Minority Ethnic Groups. Further details from the Conference Administrator on 0113 305 6044 or access the website on: www.leedscommunityandmentalhealthtrust.org. Hope this is new information and of use to you. Michael
