APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING I am pleased to announce the publication of a new briefing which may be of interest to health librarians. Better Health Briefing 20 Improving <http://www.better-health.org.uk/briefing-paper.asp?id=20> health and social care support for carers from black and minority ethnic communities http://www.better-health.org.uk/briefing-paper.asp?id=20 This briefing paper draws attention to the experience of black and minority ethnic carers in the context of mainstream service provision and recent policy developments such as the National Carers Strategies, service user and carer involvement and the personalisation agenda. It acknowledges that marginalisation is often a consequence of lack of support for both carers and black and minority ethnic communities in health and social care. The paper brings together research evidence and examples of leading practice and emphasises the importance of addressing and not concealing existing inequalities in current changes in policy focus.
